</span><span style="COLOR: #666666">Simon
Fraser University, The Hakai Network for
Coastal People, Ecosystems and
Management, and the Ocean Tipping Points
project invite applications for a
post-doctoral fellowship in applied
fisheries ecology, with focused research
on modeling the social-ecological
interactions between an ecologically and
culturally important forage fish,
Pacific herring, and coastal communities
in British Columbia. Together, we seek
applicants interested in contributing to
an interdisciplinary research group
composed of marine ecologists, fisheries
scientists, oceanographers, geneticists,
policy analysts and archaeologists. The
post doc will play an important
cross-cutting role in this group,
integrating the ecological, cultural and
economic implications of herring and
working directly with our community
partners. The successful Post-Doctoral
Scholar will be appointed for two years
with funding from a National Science and
Engineering Research Council of Canada
(NSERC) Strategic Project Grant. They
will be based at The Hakai Network at
Simon Fraser University in Burnaby,
British Columbia, Canada. Field research
will be based at the Hakai Beach
Institute on Calvert Island, and First
Nations communities on Central Coast and
Haida Gwaii regions of British
Columbia. This research will also
involve an international collaboration
with the Ocean Tipping Points Project (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.oceantippingpoints.org/"
target="_blank">http://www.oceantippingpoints.org/</a>). The
salary for the position will be
commensurate with experience ($40
-50,000) with grant-supported travel and
research funds ($10,000).</span></p>

Competition:</span></b><span
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Century
Gothic','sans-serif'"><br>
</span><span style="COLOR: #666666">Applicants
must hold a Ph.D. in marine ecology,
fisheries science or a relevant field at
the time of appointment, and should have
a demonstrated track record of high
quality research. The successful
candidate will work closely with Drs.
Anne Salomon and Margot Hessing-Lewis
with the Coastal Marine Ecology and
Conservation (CMEC) lab, the Hakai Beach
Institute, The Herring School, and Drs.
Carrie Kappel, Phil Levin and Jameal
Samhouri from The Ocean Tipping Points
project, as well as our Coastal First
Nations partners (Haida Fisheries and
the Heiltsuk Integrated Resource
Management Department). A strong
quantitative background with
demonstrated use of modeling skills in
fisheries and/or ecological disciplines
is preferred. Knowledge of loop/network
analysis and decision-making modeling
tools will be considered a strong asset.
In addition, experience working with
coastal communities, commitment to
collaboration across disciplines, and a
working knowledge of qualitative
research techniques would be greatly
valued. A theoretical understanding of
SES (Social-Ecological Systems) thinking
and its practical application should be
demonstrated.</span></p>
