starting January 2003.

Duties:

We are seeking biologists with a strong background in statistics and population dynamics to lead research efforts in
the production and restoration of salmonids in the Columbia Basin. The
incumbent will play a leading role in a program of several projects, mostly
related to productivity and survival of salmonids in nature and the
reproductive ecology of cultivated fish. The position offers exceptional
opportunities to develop, in collaboration with researchers from other
agencies, integrative approaches to important fish restoration issues.

Qualifications:

A PhD degree in fisheries or a related natural resource
discipline or an MS degree and 3 years of experience leading research
projects.

Demonstrated ability to supervise staff and to manage both field-
and office-oriented projects.

Ability to manage and analyze both quantitative
and qualitative information, particularly using computer applications.

A
proven scientific record.

Knowledge of computational approaches to analysis
of large databases will be considered an asset.

The Fishery Science Department has relevant research strengths in several
areas including evolutionary ecology, fisheries science, population
genetics, habitat management and aquaculture. The Department has strong
research ties with the University of Idaho and its activities are partly
based in the soon-to-be renovated and expanded Hagerman Fish Culture
Experimental Station in Hagerman, Idaho. Collaborative research with
University scientists is strongly encouraged.
