The Institute of Marine Sciences [https://ims.ucsc.edu/] at the University of 
California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), working in conjunction with the NOAA National 
Marine Fisheries Service Southwest Fisheries Science Center (NOAA Fisheries), 
invites applications for the position of Project Scientist to develop 
climate-ready management tools and data streams to improve fisheries 
sustainability and manage protected resources in the North Pacific. The 
candidate will work with ecological models built upon and tied to global 
climate and earth system models, regional ocean models, and observational 
datasets, and should have strong skills in accessing, downloading, analyzing, 
and visualizing large data sets. The candidate will operationalize ecological 
models to produce daily and forecasted outputs, e.g. EcoCast 
(https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/ecocast/map_product.html); WhaleWatch 
(https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/projects/whalewatch2/whalewatch2_map.html), 
and should have a robust analytical skillset and strong skills in computer 
science, coding, and data management. The individual will participate in 
research projects to understand how climatic information can support management 
decision-making across multiple time-scales, e.g. historical predictions, 
seasonal forecasts, climate projections. Specific research areas may include 
fisheries bycatch, whale entanglement in fishing gear and ship strike, the 
effects of short-term and long-term warming on human-wildlife risk, and the 
design of climate-smart spatial closures and protected areas. These efforts are 
part of broader interdisciplinary projects aimed at developing improved 
fisheries management strategies for the California Current System.

Initial appointments are typically for a period of two years. Reappointment may 
be considered contingent upon the availability of work and appropriate funding. 
The positions will be based in Monterey, CA and supervised by Barbara Muhling 
in the Fisheries Collaborative Program at the University of California, Santa 
Cruz and will work closely with NOAA staff at the Southwest Fisheries Science 
Center in Monterey.
