The postdocs will work with a team of experts in the study of climate impacts on fish and fisheries and the application of MSE, including Dr. Lisa Kerr and Dr. Andrew Pershing (GMRI), Dr. Gavin Fay and Dr. Steve Cadrin (UMass Dartmouth), and Dr. Sarah Gaichas (NOAA NEFSC). <span style="" class="">Two positions will be based at GMRI (Portland, ME) and one based at UMass Dartmouth (New Bedford, MA).
