South Atlantic Fishery Management Council Seeks Scientific Advisors
The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council is soliciting scientists interested in serving on its Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC). Membership is open to any qualified scientist, regardless of affiliation or geographic location. The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council is one of eight regional fishery management councils in the country. Each council has an SSC responsible for reviewing the scientific basis of council management plans and actions, and developing fishing level recommendations in accordance with national fisheries management guidelines. The South Atlantic Council’s SSC meets at least twice a year to address a broad range of topics, including stock assessments, management action evaluations, social and economic analyses, habitat evaluations, and ecosystem management issues. SSC members also play a key role in developing and reviewing stock assessments through participation in SEDAR, the Southeast Data, Assessment, and Review program. SAFMC SSC members serve 3-year terms and may be appointed to multiple terms. Anyone with expertise and experience in the areas of fisheries biology, population dynamics, fisheries research and monitoring, and social and economic analyses of natural resources, especially as applied to fish species in the South Atlantic, is encouraged to apply by submitting a CV and a cover letter. The cover letter should highlight qualifications and experience, and indicate receipt and acceptance of the SAFMC SSC job description. Applications may be submitted by mail, fax, or email to the addresses below. The Council will review applications at its June 7-11, 2010 meeting. Applications received by May 3, 2010 will be submitted for consideration. Please contact John Carmichael, Science and Statistics Program Manager at john.carmichael@safmc.net or call 843/571-4366 or Toll Free 866/SAFMC-10 for further details.

Re: Job opening: scientist
Thats quite a wish list of qualifications. I'm sure they will again hire someone with many degrees and years of lab experience who does not have the practical ability to pull their head out of their azz and at least review and listen to people who spend thousands of hours on and in the water every year.

Re: Job opening: scientist
Thanks for the post Rich. I know John Carmichael, Science and Statistics Program Manager, over there at SAFMC and I am sure he appreciates the help with the recruitment effort. Maybe there is a spearfishing scientist lurking here that would be interested. On the water and under water practical experience would be great as riplipper points out.

Re: Job opening: scientist
Most divers / fishermen's point of view are correct, because it is from their personal experiences in life. Their field of vision is however not as broad as one would want when making decisions on a fishery that spans across the total picture. One persons diving adventures don't mean a whole lot of crap in the bigger picture. Every one seams to want what serves them best in this evaporating fishery.
Especially the young and dumb! Because they see a fishery in recovery with more grouper and snapper than ever before (isn't ignorance bliss). |
