The Research Scientist will develop stock assessment models to incorporate environmental factors and be responsive to climate-driven changes in fish populations. They will also support fisheries science and management efforts at provincial, regional, and national levels. The Centre is intended to bridge gaps and foster collaboration between all groups with an interest in the fisheries including federal agencies, industry partners, provincial regulators, Indigenous organizations, and non-governmental organizations. Reporting to the Centre co-directors, the Research Scientist is expected to be an important part of this goal and will have strong collaboration skills and a willingness to work in a interdisciplinary setting.

Experience with the following: spatio-temporal statistics, Bayesian hierarchical modelling, fisheries stock assessment modelling, fisheries dependent and fisheries independent data, oceanographic and other environmental data.
Experience training students and/or professionals in the use of stock assessment models and associated tools.
