If you're passionate about applied science, scalable analytics, and contributing to data-driven fisheries policy, this role offers an exciting opportunity to make a lasting impact.
Key Responsibilities
- Building machine learning and artificial intelligence models to analyze marine species and habitat data from NEFSC's advanced technology surveys.
- Developing workflows, pipelines, and data storage protocols that support reproducibility and scalability of data products.
- Managing large databases using both local servers and cloud infrastructure.
- Applying statistical analyses to interpret model outputs and refine ecological insights.
- Documenting protocols for data collection, auditing, and analysis, including reproducible code and workflow tracking.
- Producing peer-reviewed publications and technical reports to advance the role of data science in fisheries research.
- Collaborating with internal and external data users across NEFSC, GARFO, and regional Fishery Management Councils.
- Presenting scientific findings at conferences, meetings, and public outreach events.
- Contributing to the preparation of NEFSC reports, funding proposals, and stock assessment materials.
- Presenting research findings at conferences, interagency meetings, and through digital platforms.
Required Experience and Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree with six (6) years' experience, or Master's degree with four (4) years' experience, or PhD with one (1) year of experience; degree and experience must be directly related to the individual requirement.
- Experience analyzing large data sets.
- Extensive experience with identifying, interpreting, analyzing, and applying a range of established approaches and solutions to tests, problems, or issues.
- Experience writing reports or scientific publications.
- Current MS Office and Google Workspace skills.
- Expertise with PL/SQL, R, C, Python, Linux, VIAME, Terraform, and/or other programming languages.
