The University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) is seeking candidates for a new
senior faculty position in Marine Policy. The position is endowed by the
Pollock Conservation Cooperative, and named in honor of Senator Ted
Stevens. The primary responsibility of the incumbent will be to provide
leadership and develop a program of national prominence in marine
policy, complementary to the mission of the School of Fisheries and
Ocean Sciences, UAF. This will include generating support for a cadre of
research faculty, post-doctoral associates, and graduate students. The
incumbent will have the opportunity to develop and teach a graduate
course in the topic of his/her choice and consider developing a small
but eclectic graduate curriculum of study in Oceans Policy. A critical
role will be to provide advice to government and private entities on
matters of ocean policy.
Alaska's marine systems include more than half the Nation's coastline
and continental shelf, produce more than half the nation's harvest of
wild fish, provide subsistence resources for coastal communities,
support major populations of marine mammals and seabirds, and attract
tens of thousands of visitors to the state. The professional
opportunities in the State are enormous.
Minimal qualifications include an earned doctorate in ocean,
environmental or fisheries policy or a related field, and extensive
experience with marine/fishery policy and planning. The successful
candidate will have demonstrated leadership, administrative and
communications skills, and an ability to integrate well with others.
