Employment

The Marine Institute Galway Ireland is recruiting a *Post Doctoral
Researcher to work on bycatch issues relating to ETP species (including
marine mammals), *as part a large European project.

Position is for 48 months. Closing date is the 2nd of May.

The role will involve developing a modelling framework to design monitoring
programmes, estimating bycatch probability, bycatch rates, and total
bycatch for marine mammal and other species; using outcomes of mitigation
trials to assess the effect of mitigation measures for ETP species
including marine mammals; and developing a decision support simulation
system for bycatch management and mitigation interventions.

The Post-Doctoral Researcher will work closely with the Marine Institute?s
CIBBRiNA project lead, as well as with colleagues in the Technical
University of Denmark (DTU Aqua), to deliver research for the CIBBRiNA
project. The CIBBRiNA project (Coordinated Development and Implementation
of Best Practice in Bycatch Reduction in the North Atlantic region) aims to
improve knowledge and understanding to minimise and where possible
eliminate incidental bycatch of species, including marine mammals, in
fisheries which have high risk of bycatch of protected, endangered and
threatened species (PETS), in European waters.

*Educational and Professional Requirements:*

?    A relevant PhD in fisheries science, marine science, statistical
ecology or a related field.
?    An understanding of issues related to bycatch in European fisheries.
?    Demonstrated experience of working in the arena of fisheries and/or
marine ecosystem modelling or similar.
?    Demonstrated skills in data analysis linked to marine
ecological/fisheries science, with particular experience in statistical
modelling.
?    Strong data handling and data manipulation skills (e.g., experience
developing pipelines to handle complex relational data).
?    Experienced in hierarchical statistical modelling (ideally implemented
in R) and a good grasp of statistical inference from multi-scale
longitudinal data.
?    Ability to work with and effectively communicate with scientists, the
fishing industry and other relevant stakeholders.
?    Proven Scientific Report and peer reviewed paper writing skills.
?    Proven ability to produce reproducible code.
