Data Scientist
  • University of California, Santa Cruz
  • Monterey, CA FULL_TIME
  • Project Scientist or Specialist in Climate and Oceanography Data Analysis, Visualization, and Tool Building

    The Institute of Marine Sciences [https://ims.ucsc.edu/] at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), working in conjunction with the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service Southwest Fisheries Science Center (NOAA Fisheries), invites applications for the position of Project Scientist or Specialist to develop climate-ready management tools and data streams to improve fisheries sustainability and manage protected resources in the North Pacific.

    The candidate will work with ecological models built upon and tied to global climate and earth system models, regional ocean models, and observational datasets, and should have strong skills in accessing, downloading, analyzing, and visualizing large data sets. The candidate will operationalize ecological models to produce daily and forecasted outputs, e.g. EcoCast (https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/ecocast/map_product.html); WhaleWatch (https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/projects/whalewatch2/whalewatch2_map.html), and should have a robust analytical skillset and strong skills in computer science, coding, and data management. The individual will participate in research projects to understand how climatic information can support management decision-making across multiple time-scales, e.g. historical predictions, seasonal forecasts, climate projections. Specific research areas may include fisheries bycatch, whale entanglement in fishing gear and ship strike, the effects of short-term and long-term warming on human-wildlife risk, and the design of climate-smart spatial closures and protected areas. These efforts are part of broader interdisciplinary projects aimed at developing improved fisheries management strategies for the California Current System.

    Initial appointments are typically for a period of two years. Reappointment may be considered contingent upon the availability of work and appropriate funding. The positions will be supervised by Heather Welch (Project Scientist) and Barb Muhling (Project Scientist) in the Fisheries Collaborative Program at the University of California, Santa Cruz and will work closely with NOAA economics staff at the Southwest Fisheries Science Center.

    The Institute of Marine Sciences (IMS) is an organized research unit whose mission is to increase knowledge of the world’s oceans and inhabitants to better understand their economic importance and the impact people have on them. Through this effort, IMS maintains the responsibility to encourage, develop, and support marine research and education and does this by providing research opportunities, resources, facilities, and support for scientists within the institute and with other marine research institutions.

    As part of its mission’s efforts, IMS launched the Fisheries Collaborative Program (FCP) to help foster research collaborations between NOAA scientists, UCSC faculty, IMS researchers, and students. The FCP’s research activities include field studies, laboratory experiments, modeling, and computational studies involving marine and freshwater species and habitats. Comprehensive studies are being conducted on the ecology and life history of Pacific salmonids and other fishes. FCP research supports the conservation of coastal biodiversity and the sustainable management of fisheries resources.
