The position involves leading periodically intense bouts of boat-based field work, wrangling and analysis of large datasets, writing for multiple audiences, and collaborating with scientists from a variety of disciplines and organizations. Your teammates would include a close-knit small team of Environmental Scientists leading similar program components focused on support of native fish communities. Apply by the final filing date for the opportunity to make a difference in the understanding and management of one of California's most dynamic and impacted ecosystems.
