Postdoctoral Research Position in Modeling Interactions among Wind Energy and Shellfish Fisheries
Rutgers University
Position Summary: Post Doctoral Associate position available immediately. The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary team whose goal is modeling economic and ecological interactions of two major commercial shellfish fisheries and proposed wind energy farms along the US Atlantic coast. The commercial shellfish fisheries along the east coast are among the largest (by landed weight) and most valuable (by dockside value). These clam and scallop fisheries are also at the greatest risk of being negatively affected by offshore wind development because of their overlap with existing lease areas, and the nature of the vessels and fishing gear used. The novel agent-based modeling approach developed and used in this research will serve to answer questions about interactions among fisheries, wind energy, and future climate conditions, providing timely science tools for management decision-making. Minimum Education and Experience: PhD in marine biology, ecology, fisheries, data science or related fields. Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: Preference will be given to applicants with 1) expertise in shellfish ecology, fisheries, or resource management; 2) strong communication, team building, and organization skills; 3) ability to code in R, MatLab, Fortran or similar languages; and 4) strong publication record and proven written and oral communication skills. Valid Driver's License required. Posting Number: 20FA1019 Location: Off Campus
