Please consider applying if you are interested in the positions listed above, OR if you are generally interested in ecosystem modeling, ecosystem reporting, fisheries ecology, fisheries economics, integrated ecosystem assessments, ecosystem-based fisheries management, social-ecological systems, interdisciplinary marine science, data science, human geography, environmental anthropology, etc. as other positions may be filled using these job announcements.

I will send around opportunities when they become available and please don’t hesitate to reach out (jameal.samhouri@noaa.gov) if you have any additional questions. Best of luck and feel free to distribute this information to others who might be interested!
