You may have heard that we are searching for NMFS’s Southwest and Southeast Science and Research Directors. I would appreciate your reviewing the announcements and letting me know if you/someone you know might be interested. Many thanks. Allie *JDG Associates*, Executive Search Consultants, has been retained by the *National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)* within the * National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)* to identify candidates for two critical Senior Executive Service (SES) positions: - *Science and Research Director, Southeast Region (Miami, Florida)* - *Science and Research Director, Southwest Region (San Diego, California)* NMFS is responsible for the stewardship of the Nation’s ocean resources and ecosystems by providing vital services to ensure productive and sustainable fisheries, the recovery and conservation of protected resources, and by using scientific, evidence based approaches for the management of healthy ecosystems. To support these efforts, NMFS conducts research to support fisheries, fishery development, trade, industry assistance activities, and the scientific and technical aspects of NOAA’s marine fisheries resource programs. The* (2) Science and Research Directors *will lead scientific research programs of living marine ecology and resources identified within the *Southwest (CA)* and *Southeast (FL)* Regions and their adjacent waters. S/he will plan, develop and manage multidisciplinary research programs necessary to provide scientific information to regional fishery management councils and protected species recovery teams. S/he is responsible for biological and oceanographic surveys and studies to monitor, assess, and predict the abundance and availability of living marine resources, including research to improve detection and monitoring, as well as research designed to improve the handling, processing, quality, safety, and utilization of marine aquaculture. Critical to this search is the following criteria: - *Experience administering a multi-faceted program in applied research on fisheries management, protected species conservation or habitat conservation and restoration* - *Experience leading marine-based research science programs and policies * - *Experience coordinating and communicating with external stakeholders with varying interests in policy formation for marine habitat conservation and usage* I have attached position announcements for both of these critical roles. And feel free to forward this email to others within your “network”.
