Senior Scientist, California Ocean Science Trust
Oakland, CA
Background
The California Ocean Science Trust (OST, www.calost.org
<http://www.calost.org/>) is a non-profit organization established
pursuant to the Coastal Ocean Resources Stewardship Act of 2000 to
provide scientific guidance to the state on ocean policy issues. Our
mission is to advance a constructive role for science in decision-making
by promoting collaboration and mutual understanding among scientists,
citizens, managers and policymakers working towards sustained, healthy
and productive coastal and ocean ecosystems. We work at the nexus
between the state and scientific communities and hold ourselves dually
accountable to these partners. By developing new tools and processes and
synthesizing and translating scientific knowledge, we help
decision-makers realize the full value of public investments in science
and help scientists increase their relevance and impact on society.
Current initiatives within OST focus on advancing MPA monitoring,
sustainable fisheries management, and science to support policy and
management responses to climate change, including ocean acidification.
The largest program within OST is the MPA Monitoring Enterprise
(www.monitoringenterprise.org <http://www.monitoringenterprise.org/>).
Within this program we lead the design and implementation of
scientifically rigorous and cost-effective monitoring of the network of
marine protected areas established in California. We are pioneering
scientific and practical assessments of the changing condition of ocean
ecosystems and the performance of MPA networks, and developing
innovative approaches for sharing monitoring results so that
decision-makers and stakeholders have timely, credible information for
making sound management decisions. We are developing new tools and
approaches to facilitate broad citizen participation in monitoring and
to ensure that MPA monitoring data can also support broader ocean
management including fisheries, climate adaptation and water quality
management.
OST is looking for a dynamic and energetic Senior Scientist to join our
team. Reporting to the Program Director, the position will be part of a
cross-functional and multi-disciplinary team comprised of OST staff and
contractors to ensure rigorous and unbiased science is integrated into
coastal and ocean policy and management.
General Functions
The Senior Scientist will be responsible for leading and actively
engaging in the development and implementation of science initiatives
that foster the integration of natural science information into ocean
resource management and conservation. A key area of focus in California
is the new statewide network of MPAs. The Senior Scientist will steward
and build upon current initiatives within OST, including projects within
the MPA Monitoring Enterprise. With guidance from the Program Director,
the Senior Scientist will also develop new initiatives that use emerging
scientific knowledge to link the statewide network of MPAs with
fisheries management, ocean acidification and other priority issues.
The Senior Scientist will identify strategic opportunities to advance
science-informed decision-making, design collaborative and robust
processes to engage a broad constituency in key issues, deploy tools and
approaches to advance a constructive dialogue, and develop new pathways
to integrate science into ocean resource management and policy.
The Senior Scientist will work closely with OST’s programmatic leads in
social science, technology and communications and collaborate with a
range of partners including state agencies, tribes, researchers and
stakeholders. The Senior Scientist will supervise and mentor staff
including Associate and Project Scientists with diverse natural science,
management and policy expertise.
