Two month contract literature review position
We seek a researcher with training in marine ecology, environmental
economics, and/or marine resource management to perform a review of the

indicators in marine spatial planning and ecosystem based management.
The qualified candidate will have excellent research, organizational and
communication skills and be comfortable reading, critically reviewing
and synthesizing large amounts of information from disparate fields,
including ecology, economics, anthropology, sociology and management
science. Experience with marine resource management in general and in
particular from the California Current is desirable, but not required.
The candidate must be able to work well independently. Location could be
in Santa Barbara, where the project is based, or other location of the
researcher's choosing. Some graduate-level training in a relevant field
is required, but this project could be appropriate for a current
graduate student.
