Climate Change Policy Specialist, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Arlington, VA
SHORT DESCRIPTION FOR THE LIST OF ROTATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES:
Position will work will work with the National Climate Change Policy Advisor, the Science Advisor, and key partners within DOI and other federal agencies (as well as states and NGOs) to assist in the development of the National Fish, Wildlife and Plants Climate Adaptation Strategy.
DURATION: 4 to 6 months (flexible), beginning in December 2011 or January 2012.
DESCRIPTION OF RESPONSIBILITIES:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is the primary government agency dedicated to the conservation, protection, and enhancement of fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats. The Service manages the National Wildlife Refuge System and implements some of our most important environmental laws. The Fish and Wildlife Service's Office of the Science Advisor (OSA) serves as counsel to the Service Director, and provides leadership on science policy and scientific applications in resource management.
As the need to address the effects of climate change on our nation's natural resources becomes increasingly clear, Congress has called for the development of a national, government-wide strategy to address climate impacts on fish, wildlife, plants, and related ecological processes. The FWS is currently co-leading the development of this Adaptation Strategy, together with NOAA and the state wildlife agencies. This effort will set out a unified approach to maintaining the key terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems and species, as well as the services they provide, in the face of accelerating climate change. For more information, please visit: www.wildlifeadaptationstrategy.gov<http://www.wildlifeadaptationstrategy.gov/>.
The Adaptation Strategy is scheduled to be released for Public Review in December 2011 or January 2012. The PMF will actively participate in the Strategy Management Team's efforts to shepherd the Draft Strategy through public review and keep it on track for final publication during the summer of 2012, including assisting with the public review process, collecting and responding to public comments, and helping with development and initiation of Adaptation Strategy implementation efforts.
Specifically, the PMF will have the opportunity to:
Help to plan public meetings, and potentially attend public review sessions at various locations around the country;
Work closely with staff from NOAA, the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, CEQ, and others to consider, respond to, and address public comments received;
Assist with development and initiation of climate adaptation strategy implementation efforts;
Maintain and update the Strategy website, and coordinate online and other communications about this effort both inside and outside FWS;
Represent the National Climate Change Policy Advisor and OSA in a variety of inter-agency meetings on climate adaptation and related topics;
Review and comment on inter-agency policies and planning efforts relating to climate change;
Provide guidance and assistance to the Science Advisor and the Directorate in development, prioritization, and implementation of FWS' policies regarding climate change;
Assist the National Climate Change Policy Advisor and the Science Advisor with a variety of other climate change topics, issues and projects.
EXPERIENCE:
This opportunity is targeted to GS9 or 11 employees with experience in climate change science and policy issues as well as working with teams and coordinating projects involving multiple organizations with varying missions and cultures.

Resource Economist, NOAA
La Jolla, CA
Respond directly to James at [James.Hilger at noaa.gov<mailto:James.Hilger at noaa.gov>] with questions.
We are writing to inquire if there are any current Ph.D. candidates in your program that you could recommend for an anticipated Ph.D. economist position at the NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla, California. Please have any strong candidate e-mail us regarding their interest in the position.
We wish to hire a Ph.D. candidate interested in a career research economist position within NOAA fisheries at the SWFSC. The candidate would be hired into a student-trainee position during the completion phase of the degree program and the 'student' position can be converted to a full time federal career level position upon completion of the degree. Research staff at the SWFSC includes social and physical scientists who work on research with relevance to marine resource policy. SWFSC researchers are encouraged to develop successful publication records. Opportunities also exist to teach courses and
mentor graduate students at local universities and institutions.
Our ideal candidate has strong empirical skills with an emphasis in resource economics. Training and research experience in fisheries, industrial organization, production economics, community economics or
international economics are desirable but not required, but a willingness to specialize in one or more of these areas is necessary. The position is open to current Ph.D. candidates on track to complete their degrees by August of 2012. U.S. citizenship is required and NOAA is an equal opportunity employer.
The position entails planning and carrying out research on the social science of West Coast fisheries, on environmental resources, such as sea turtles, sea birds, and marine mammals, and on ecosystems and their services that are subject to conservation and management regulations. The incumbent is expected to report results from individual research projects in peer-reviewed articles and reports.
Duties and responsibilities include supporting fisheries conservation and management through research, outreach and Pacific Fishery Management Council duties. The position requires the review of proposed regulatory actions, the acquisition and summarization of social science data, the assessment of the impacts of regulations on fishers, consumers and protected species, the authorship or supervision of analyses, the design of social science data collections/surveys when needed, and the review and monitoring of grant funded research and/or data collection projects.
The Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla, California, located on the campus of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the University of California, San Diego, offers an excellent research
environment. Scope exists for the incumbent to define his or her own research program subject within the confines of fisheries research. The social science group at the Southwest Fisheries Science Center has close research and teaching ties with the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Departments of Economics and Political Science at the University of California San Diego and the Department of Economics at San Diego State University. Opportunities are available for collaboration with social scientists, biologists, oceanographers, and other researchers from the SWFSC and the above. Social science team members are also active participants in the IGERT multidisciplinary program from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography on marine biodiversity and conservation.
We greatly appreciate your taking the time to consider our inquiry, and welcome any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
James Hilger
