Established under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the regional Council system gives fishery managers the flexibility to use local-level input to develop management strategies appropriate for each region's unique fisheries challenges and opportunities. About this job As a fishery analyst or fishery economist for the Council, you will lead the evaluation of economic and/or environmental impacts of proposed changes to the management of some of the nation's largest and most valuable commercial fisheries, the groundfish and crab fisheries off Alaska. Your work has a meaningful impact, as it supports decision-making by the Council based on the best available science and connects directly to the on-the-water implementation of measures to conserve and sustain fisheries, fishermen and communities, marine resources, and ecosystems. In this role, you will gain expertise in a wide range of fisheries, management approaches, vessel and processor operations, fisheries science, and other topics. In addition to possessing the qualifications listed below, the ideal candidate will demonstrate intellectual curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to work on interdisciplinary issues that may extend beyond their specific academic training or prior experience. While we strive to align projects with individual interests and strengths, successful analysts are flexible and capable of applying their skills to new and emerging issues as organizational priorities evolve. The ideal candidate will be motivated to learn unfamiliar subjects, independently scope and develop analytical approaches, and carry projects through to completion. This position is well suited for someone who enjoys solving complex problems, integrating information from multiple disciplines, and continuously developing new skills, tools, and analytical methods. What you will be doing Your responsibilities and job duties as Council staff include but are not limited to the following: Prepare and contribute to a variety of social, economic, and environmental impact analyses, discussion papers and reports to assist the Council in developing fisheries policy and changes to fishery management plans. Present the results of written work to the Council, advisory committees and public. Communicate complex analyses at a variety of levels for decisionmakers, scientific review bodies, and user groups. Provide rapporteur and logistical support for Council advisory committees. Act in a neutral advisory capacity in discussions with the Council and the Council's committees on matters relating to the impacts of proposed fishery management regulations. Work independently and as a team with other Council analysts, and in collaboration with staff from other agencies (e.g., National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC)). Serve as project manager lead including coordinating roles and timelines internally and across contributing agencies. Attend Council meetings, public hearings, and other meetings, including travel as required. About you Excellent written and oral communicator. Ability to write clearly and succinctly, skilled in making and delivering effective oral presentations and communicating complex issues to non-technical audiences. Experience in the compilation and/or review of environmental assessments or environmental/economic analyses supporting regulatory actions is a plus. Strategic thinker and planner. Ability to conceptualize the scope of a problem, develop a workplan for project development/completion, and analyze potential impacts. Capable of managing multiple projects and deadlines. Experience in fisheries-related discipline. Master's degree or higher in resource management, environmental policy, resource economics, fisheries science, public policy, or other related discipline. Education may be substituted with 3 or more years professional experience in management/policy, analysis, or research related to fisheries or other renewable natural resources. Independent and adaptable. Resourceful and self-directed with a strong sense of ownership for responsibilities. Must be flexible and demonstrate willingness and ability to readily respond to critical feedback, changing circumstances and priorities. Interpersonal skills. Ability to work professionally with people from multiple scientific and technical backgrounds. Ability to establish and maintain good working relationships, and to work effectively as part of a team. Familiarity with marine fisheries. Knowledge of the various policies, laws, and management programs pertaining to the fishing industry.
