  • Ability to conceptualize the scope of a problem, analyze potential impacts, and complete writing assignments on time.

Preferred:

  • Familiarity with North Pacific fisheries and current management issues.
  • Demonstrated experience with inter-agency and multi-disciplinary projects.
  • Demonstrated experience in the compilation and/or review of environmental impact statements (EIS) or related environmental or economic analyses supporting regulatory actions.
