This is FW Alum, Jason Smith’s old position.  He still there, just got promoted.  Jason said they’ve had very few applicants.  From Jason “The Researcher position is my old job, and in my opinion, is likely about the best training ground for a new fish biologist anywhere in the world.”

Please consider applying and/or spread the word to others who might be interested.

  *   Conduct fisheries surveys on Lake Michigan using a variety of gear types (gill nets, seines, trawls, neuston nets, hydroacoustics equipment).
  *   Collect, manage, and analyze biological data (sex, age, maturity, spawning condition, diet, health status) of harvested fish.
  *   Participate in the development of methodology to estimate abundance, biomass, and population structure of stocked and wild, adult and juvenile cisco in Lake Michigan.
  *   Assist the Fisheries Biologist in coordinating research design.
  *   Participate in the design and implementation of experimental aquaculture research to develop gamete collection, fertilization, and rearing techniques for cisco.
  *   Conduct habitat and fisheries assessments using hydroacoustic equipment.
  *   Assist with the development of an annual trawling assessment targeting juvenile cisco and other forage fishes.
  *   Analyze data, conduct statistical analyses on complex datasets, create publication quality figures and graphs.
  *   Participate in preparation of reports and/or presentations and/or peer-reviewed publications.
  *   Pursue possible funding opportunities and work in a team to prepare funding or grant proposals.
