The Marine Mammals Management Program of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is seeking a highly motivated and conservation-oriented individual to lead the Walrus Program. The office is responsible for the conservation and management of Pacific walrus, polar bears, and sea otters.

Additional information about the program is at: http://alaska.fws.gov/fisheries/mmm/index.htm.
The ideal candidate will have a background in population biology and arctic marine ecology, ability to work with people, and skills needed to provide leadership to highly motivated and independent professionals. Minimum requirements include at least one year of specialized experience and an advanced degree in biological sciences.

The full time position is located in Anchorage, Alaska. Some travel is required, including international travel, as well as travel to meetings and for fieldwork within the state. Salary is at the GS 13 level and is commensurate with qualifications and previous government experience. Please see the job announcement for details.
