What you will be doing: As a Fishery Analyst for the Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission (CFEC), you will conduct research, statistical analysis, and reporting essential to the implementation of the Alaska Limited Entry Act. In this role, you will develop and maintain SAS, SQL, R, and Python programs; produce annual demographic, economic, and regional reports; analyze permit and fishery data; and support the Commission with regulatory, economic, and demographic analyses used statewide. You will work with one of the most complete commercial fisheries datasets in the world and contribute directly to data‑driven policy and the sustainability of Alaska’s commercial fisheries.
Our organization, mission, and culture: CFEC works to conserve and sustain the economic health of Alaska’s commercial fisheries by permitting commercial fishers and, when appropriate, limiting the number of participants in certain fisheries. As a quasi‑judicial agency, CFEC issues permits, manages vessel licensing, and provides due‑process hearings and appeals.
As CFEC’s Fishery Analyst, you will be a key member of a small, highly collaborative research team where:
You will apply analytical, statistical, and programming skills daily to answer complex questions involving fisheries participation, demographics, earnings, and permit activity.
You will be a valued contributor to research, data development, regulatory analysis, and the continuous improvement of CFEC’s programs and systems.
Your education and growth in fisheries science, statistics, data analytics, and programming will be actively supported. We strongly encourage continued education that directly enhances your ability to support CFEC’s mission.
You will be empowered to innovate, refine methods, improve workflows, strengthen data systems, and shape the way fisheries data are analyzed and presented.
You’ll work closely with positive, supportive, and highly competent colleagues who value teamwork, professional respect, and a healthy work–life balance. Your work will have meaningful impact on agency decision‑making, regulatory processes, and the long‑term stewardship of Alaska’s fisheries.
The Alaska Department of Fish & Game strives for a diverse and inclusive workforce where safety and well‑being are paramount, and employees at all levels promote a culture where everyone is valued, treated equitably, and treated respectfully.
Benefits of joining our team: CFEC’s research section encourages autonomy, creativity, and professional exploration. Although many reports follow annual or seasonal cycles, you will have opportunities to pursue specialized research interests, develop new programs, and take deep dives into Alaska’s diverse fisheries.
We value meaningful work‑life balance. The research team supports flexible work arrangements, respects personal and family commitments, and collaborates to ensure deadlines are met without burnout. Our busiest work period typically runs from August through May, leaving summer months with more flexibility for recreation and leave. We also strongly encourage continuing education that enhances your skills and advances CFEC’s mission.
The working conditions you can expect: CFEC’s offices are located inside the Jordan Creek Mall in beautiful Juneau, Alaska—near the Mendenhall Glacier. The indoor mall setting offers comfortable break‑time walks year‑round, regardless of weather, and you will occasionally travel to our records archive near Lemon Creek. You will work in a quiet, professional, and team‑oriented office with colleagues who value efficiency, collaboration, and work‑life balance.
This position may require occasional travel within the state to meetings and conferences.
Who we are looking for: We are seeking applicants with strong analytical skills, programming ability, and a deep interest in Alaska’s commercial fisheries. The most competitive applicants will demonstrate:
Proficiency with SQL, SAS, R, and/or Python, including understanding of database structure, querying, and program development.
Ability to independently interpret complex written materials such as statutes, regulations, management plans, and historical records, and apply them to analytical tasks.
Strong statistical reasoning skills, with the ability to perform univariate and multivariate analysis and to present trends clearly and accurately.
Ability to manage time and competing deadlines while maintaining a positive, flexible attitude in response to shifting priorities.
Ability to build and maintain effective working relationships within CFEC and with external agencies such as ADF&G.
Ability to clearly explain analytical results, demographic trends, and statistical methods to people from varied socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, including those who may disagree with CFEC practices or policy.
