Job openings: post-doc and master’s student on transboundary fishery governance

[Owen Temby]

Colleagues:

Gordon Hickey (McGill University) and I are searching for two candidates to join an inter-institutional research team working on an exciting and innovative project on U.S.-Canadian transboundary fisheries governance. The conceptual focus is on understanding the inter-relationships between different dimensions of trust, control and risk in policy networks. The empirical focus will be on the transboundary Salish Sea and Gulf of Maine regions of North America.

The openings:

1. A postdoctoral fellow to be institutionally and physically based at McGill University. This position will be funded by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada. I have attached the advertisement for this position with more information about qualifications and the application procedure.

2. A master’s student to be based at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, co-supervised by Owen Temby and Gordon Hickey. This student will enroll in UTRGV’s interdisciplinary M.S. in Ocean, Coastal, and Earth Sciences, and will be funded through the NOAA Center for Coastal and Marine Ecosystems. We welcome applicants for this program and opportunity from a variety of scholarly backgrounds, including the social and natural sciences. American citizenship is required. This opportunity includes a stipend of $16,500/yr for up to three years, tuition, and a 3-month internship at a NOAA facility related to the research project.

Applicants to the NOAA-funded M.S. at UTRGV should submit a cover letter describing your research background, interests, and qualifications and curriculum vitae with contact information for at least two references to owen....@utrgv.edu.

Both positions are open until filled. Only short-listed candidates will be notified.
