1. Research Associate, NOAA/ECS

Silver Spring, MD

Project Overview:

The candidate will provide the NMFS Office of Science and Technology 
with technical and logistical support to assess needs and best 
approaches to assess climate vulnerability and to design and conduct 
pilot climate vulnerability assessments for marine protected species. 
This is expected to ultimately result in development of vulnerability 
assessments for all of NMFS’ protected species taxa and regions. The 
candidate will contribute to other efforts to better understand and 
prepare for climate impacts on protected resources, such as projects to 
assess best practices and methodologies for projecting climate-related 
impacts on the distribution and phenology of protected species working 
in collaboration with the Office of Protected Resources.

The candidate will work closely with leading federal and academic 
scientists in climate, marine sciences, and conservation biology. The 
candidate will facilitate communication and further the development of 
more detailed and rigorous climate vulnerability assessments. This will 
be a high-profile activity within NMFS and will involve frequent 
interactions with NMFS leadership. Because the outcome of this effort 
must ultimately serve managers’ needs to develop effective conservation 
and protection strategies, the project will also involve considerable 
coordination between scientists and managers. Thus, there will also be 
frequent interactions with the management side of the agency, including 
the Office of Protected Resources.
