Position
Type: Full-time, permanent
Open to: All qualified applicants
Monthly
Salary: $4,035 per month, plus outstanding benefits
Closing
Date: 30 August 2000
Job Duties:
Under general direction this position is responsible for
ensuring the biometric quality and planning for about
twenty percent of the research projects in the Division of
Sport Fish. This position interactively consults with
project leaders to develop, review, and approve project
operational plans. The majority of these research projects
are geographically located in the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim
region of the Division, and are administered from the
Fairbanks regional office. In this capacity, the position
is responsible for insuring that research projects and
plans are technically sound and timely.
The position guides biologists toward a definition of what
kind and quality of information is needed for sound
management of recreational fisheries. The position is
responsible for selection of the proper sample survey(s) or
experimental design(s) to provide accurate estimates or
valid tests. In solving complex statistical problems, the
position is also responsible for determining sample sizes
to achieve the desired levels of precision and accuracy, or
the necessary power to detect significant differences
associated with statistical tests. This duty can involve
the derivation of new statistical methods when the old
methods do not fit sampling or experimental situations.
This duty also involves directing project leaders in the
development of biometrically sound sampling schedules. This
position also may help guide or develop programs, models,
and subsequent evaluation of fishery management strategies.
Qualifications:
A master's degree from an accredited college in biometrics,
statistics, or one of the biological sciences including or
supplemented by 18 semester or 27 quarter hours of graduate
level statistics and/or biometrics.
AND
One year of experience practicing as a biometrician at the
first working level. With the State of Alaska, this
experience is equivalent to a Biometrician I.
Substitution: Any combination of two years of additional
qualifying graduate study and professional experience in a
position where primary responsibility is statistical
analysis and design related to fish or game resource
management or research will substitute for the required one
year of biometrics experience.
