Fish and Wildlife Technician 3
Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game
This is an eight-month permanent seasonal Fish and Wildlife Technician 3 position with the Groundfish Project in Sitka, anticipated to be staffed each year between April 1 and November 30, though exact dates of the position depend on dynamics of the fisheries. Primary duties of this position include port sampling commercially caught groundfish; entering and editing fish tickets, fishery logbooks, and biological data; distributing sablefish tag rewards; participating in groundfish stock assessment surveys; and assisting with and answering public inquiries regarding groundfish fisheries.
This is a great position for someone interested in fisheries management and fish biology, who enjoys working directly with natural resources as part of a dynamic position with varied duties. The data collected by the Groundfish Project are used to set commercial harvest limits and make management recommendations to the Alaska Board of Fish, thereby guiding future management of the region’s groundfish.

Postdoc in Ecological Modelling
Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
The Department of Aquatic Resources is looking for a researcher to work on multispecies ecological modelling in the Baltic Sea. Following the recovery of the Baltic seal populations, seal-fisheries interactions have increased, and concerns have been raised on the potential conflicts between the seal conservation objectives and the fishing sector. There has been an incremental interest for quantitative tools to investigate trade-offs between the management of fisheries and marine mammals throughout the Baltic under the uncertain effects of climate change on predators and preys. Complex multispecies and ecosystem models can serve such demand by providing qualitative and quantitative estimates of the expected benefits, costs, and risks associated with alternative management actions.
