  • Experience with implementation of legislative mandates such as the Marine Mammal Protection Act and Endangered Species Act for highly endangered marine mammal species.
  • Experience developing survey/sampling design, relationships, and queries to support analyses of biological data from marine mammals, seabirds, and sea turtles, plus ancillary environmental and oceanographic data.
  • Experience collecting marine biological data for research programs in support of government resource management recommendations.
  • Experience providing technical advice to stakeholders and research collaborators on marine science, marine mammal research, and conservation.
  • Proficiency in R/Python, GIS, or similar statistical analysis software for marine biological applications.
  • Ability to organize, process, disseminate, and archive complex biological and environmental datasets using the latest data management tools, especially cloud-based solutions.
  • Demonstrated ability to present technical information to non-technical audiences and publish/present research findings at peer-reviewed forums.
