The incumbent oversees the daily operations of the Anchorage scale age laboratory for the AYK Region. The incumbent is responsible for implementing and maintaining quality assurance and control standards for collection, processing, archiving, analysis, and reporting of scale-based age, sex, and length (ASL) data from Pacific salmon species. This includes coordinating with project leaders and regional staff to create standardized and ad-hoc queries of ASL data, fulfill data requests, write project reports, and assist with project proposal development. This position provides direct supervision of a Fish & Wildlife Technician 4.
Our mission, values, and culture:
The Division of Commercial Fisheries 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.
The mission of the Division of Commercial Fisheries is to manage subsistence, commercial, and personal use fisheries in the interest of the economy and general well-being of the citizens of the state, consistent with the sustained yield principle, and subject to allocations through public regulatory processes. The division's core service is to ensure the conservation of natural stocks of fish, shellfish and aquatic plants based on scientifically sound assessments. The incumbent's work provides critical information to accurately characterize and assess salmon stocks of the AYK region. This information is important for the successful management and conservation of the fish stocks.
The benefits of joining our team:
This position offers a flexible schedule and the opportunity to work as part of a small, collaborative team that provides essential data across a large and remote area of Alaska. In addition to gaining valuable experience working with fisheries management and research biologists statewide, you'll contribute to one of the largest open-source age-sex-length (ASL) databases in the state.
