This is an opportunity** provide stock and fishery resource assessments while advising the WDFW management team on critical technical issues. With your experience,** you will design technical research studies, develop and review model inputs, and design databases and code to store and seamlessly integrate model inputs with Fishery Regulation Assessment Model (FRAM) processes. You are excited to **advise and work collaboratively with biologists from Fish Management Division, Science Division, Director's office, other state agencies, Federal agencies, and tribal governments. We are seeking a candidate** to be our senior-level professional responsible for conducting salmon stock and fishery resource assessments and analysis with high risk and impact to state-wide, coast-wide, and international salmon management.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
Among the varied range of responsibilities held within this role, this position will:
**Data Management.**
Develop, update, and maintain databases (Salmon Forecasts, Fishery Regulations, etc.) that are integral to running fishery models and preserving the salmon resources of the State. Integrate new and existing databases into modeling processes to standardize queries and data sources, reduce transmission error, streamline work tasks, and seamlessly populate FRAM and run reconstruction databases. Develop and maintain FRAM model output using a variety of technical skills and programs such as SQL queries, EXCEL, and R to provide graphical and tabular summaries of fishery and stock data. Write and maintain database and model documentation. Maintain the code of and compile the annual coho run reconstruction.
**Stock and Fishery Resource Assessments.**
Provide stock and fishery resource assessments for coho and Chinook by major watershed or management unit. Conduct resource studies critical to investigating outdated modeling assumptions such as natural and release mortality rates. Analyze coded-wire tag recoveries and develop methods to estimate exploitation rates with the goal of updating the existing Coho base period used by state, federal, tribal, and international agencies coast-wide from Alaska, Canada, to Washington, Oregon and California. Develop and assess viable population goals for federally listed populations of salmon and steelhead.
Working Conditions
Work setting:** The working environment is almost exclusively office or meeting rooms, using a laptop computer. Requires travel and participation in meetings with variable or uncertain schedules during the North of Falcon process, often requiring significantly more than 40 hours of work per week. Policy level negotiations over conservation and allocation of harvest in Pacific Northwest salmon fisheries depend critically upon results of computer simulation modeling supported by this position, sometimes creating an intense work environment.
