CFER is in an exciting period of expansion and invites applications for two Fisheries Stock Assessment Scientist positions. Requirements include a Ph.D. in quantitative fisheries science/ecology or a closely related discipline (e.g. applied mathematics, statistics, or computer science) with related experience in Fisheries Stock Assessment. Applicants should have a potential or proven ability to develop an internationally recognized research program, excellent communication skills, and a strong commitment to supervise graduate students. An ability to work with industry, fish harvesters, and government agencies is also important. The candidate(s) will join a stock assessment research group that is being created in conjunction with the newly established Ocean Choice International (OCI) Industrial Research Chair in Fish Stock Assessment and Sustainable Harvest Advice for Northwest Atlantic Fisheries, and the recently approved 93.7 million dollar Ocean Frontier Institute (OFI) initiative. These initiatives provide great funding opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and research opportunities in the region are tremendous.
