[Jpjobs] Science-Policy Fellowship in Fisheries Management Innovation

[Julia Westwater]

Ocean Conservancy is gearing up to embark on a 1-2 year effort to 
identify "breakthrough" approaches that have the potential to 
revolutionize fisheries management, and we are recruiting a 
Science-Policy Fellow to support this practical research initiative. The 
Science-Policy Fellow will work directly with Ocean Conservancy's CEO 
and the Vice President of Conservation Policy and Programs, and will 
collaborate with practitioners, interdisciplinary experts, and advocates 
from a range of academic, public and private institutions, in the US and 
internationally. Tasks will include identifying, vetting and advancing 
promising new tools and policies from across a variety of disciplines 
including fisheries and natural resource science and management. This is 
a great opportunity for a scientist looking to "sample" the NGO field.  
The fellow will experience first-hand how to bring research into 
practical application, connect with top researchers, policy experts, 
practitioners and business leaders and contribute to meaningful and 
timely solutions for the world's ocean and fisheries. The fellowship is 
offered for 12 months and can be based in any of Ocean Conservancy's 
offices http://www.oceanconservancy.org/who-we-are/contact-us.html with 
a preference for Washington, DC. We're looking for someone with a PhD in 
fisheries science, ecology, marine conservation, or related discipline 
with a strong track record of multi-disciplinary research and/or 
experience in complementary disciplines (e.g., economics, finance, 
systems dynamics). Full position description and application
