About the Role

ECS is seeking a highly skilled Research Associate to join our team in Juneau, AK. As a key member of our team, you will play a critical role in supporting the development of sustainable aquaculture practices.

  • Advise NOAA's Office of Aquaculture about ongoing data collection needs for AOA management and aquaculture siting into the future.

Deliverables:

  • Development of a guidance document/protocols for conducting social impact analysis for identifying Alaska AOAs.
  • Detailed reports providing an analysis of social issues and impacts related to Alaska AOAs.

Requirements:

  • Knowledge and experience in social impact assessment in applied aquaculture, fisheries, natural resources, agriculture or related fields.
  • Knowledge and experience in trade-off analysis in applied aquaculture, fisheries, natural resources, agriculture, or related fields.
  • Experience in quantitative computational methods using various sources of data.
  • Experience in qualitative social science research methods, including the ability to develop, administer, and analyze data collection instruments.
  • Experience with modeling perceptions and tolerance of potential risk/negative impacts of different forms of aquaculture.
  • Familiarity with NEPA.
  • Attention to detail, and timely execution of work deliverables.
  • Knowledge of or experience in Alaska coastal communities.
