Silver Spring, MD
ECS Federal is seeking a Research Associate to work in our Silver
Spring, MD office. Please note this position is contingent upon contract
award.
With increasing demands for accurate, precise, and timely information
upon which to base assessments of living marine resources and their
habitats, it is incumbent upon the National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) to develop, evaluate, and implement promising innovations in
sampling technologies. By establishing the Advanced Sampling Technology
Working Group (ASTWG) in 2000, the NMFS initiated a small program to
improve the quality of assessments of the abundance and dynamics of
living marine resources through the use of advanced technologies to
refine survey methods. This process also focused on improved
characterization and understanding of the environments in which these
living marine resources exist and assessment of the impacts of fishing
activities on these environments, and on addressing needs for sampling
over a broad range of temporal and spatial scales.

8. Post-doctoral position, Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Centre
St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
Incorporating risk into the cumulative assessment of large marine
development projects on marine mammals in Canada
A post-doctoral candidate is sought to undertake a project to develop a
national quantitative and standardized risk-based framework for
assessing cumulative impacts of marine development projects (MDPs),
including shipping and oil and gas exploration, on marine mammals.
Context: The number of large MDPs has increased dramatically in number
and scope in Canada, and this trend is expected to continue or be
exacerbated in the near future with numerous natural resource
exploitation projects and associated shipping and port development
planned, especially in the Arctic. While MDP have the potential to
affect marine features, regulatory assessments of their impacts are
currently made on a case-by-case basis, without a context of effective
thresholds relating the activities to species or ecosystem productivity,
and without consideration of cumulative impacts. The Department of
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has a need to develop a national
framework and minimum standards for assessing impacts of MDP,
particularly for marine mammals. This framework will include effective
thresholds for assessing impacts against population productivity in the
context of population sustainability. The successful candidate would
expand upon this initial framework to include uncertainty in input
parameters, and to facilitate assessment of cumulative impacts from
multiple projects and for multiple components of the affected ecosystem.
As a regulatory agency, DFO also requires clear guidance as to the
information required from proponents to assess impacts adequately, the
criteria to determine probability and magnitude of impacts, and ways to
cumulate impacts at the population and regional levels. The successful
candidate will also be responsible for developing a quantitative
electronic assessment tool for managers, the Industry and scientists.
Additional duties may include occasional contributions to marine mammal
field research programmes, and attending workshops or conferences as
relevant.
The candidate: A suitable candidate should possess (or should soon
possess) an internationally-recognised doctoral degree from an
accredited institution. The candidate should be self-motivated, and able
to work within a team framework. He/she should have ecological training
and a proven ability in statistical and/or mathematical analysis,
including modelling, as well as some background in acoustics. Abilities
in ecosystem modelling approaches and programming in R, Matlab, C++
languages or other common interpreted or compiled programming languages
is also desirable.
Time frame: We seek a candidate to begin work in November 2013 (or
earlier) and to continue until 31 March 2015. Salary will be on the
order of $47,000 CAD/year. All or a portion (up to a cap) of moving
expenses will be covered. This is a Visiting Fellowship in Canadian
Government Laboratory, which is managed via the National Sciences and
Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
http://www.nserc.gc.ca/sf_e.asp?nav=sfnav&lbi=3a.
The position will be based at the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Centre,
St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. However, the project will
involve significant collaboration with colleagues in multiple regions,
and under co-supervision of Dr. Lesage at the Institut
Maurice-Lamontagne, Mont-Joli, Quebec. An ability to write and
communicate efficiently in English is essential for the position. For
further information about this significant project, please contact Drs.
Jack Lawson, (jack.lawson at dfo-mpo.gc.ca
<mailto:jack.lawson at dfo-mpo.gc.ca>) or Veronique Lesage
(veronique.lesage at dfo-mpo.gc.ca <mailto:veronique.lesage at dfo-mpo.gc.ca>).
