PACIFIC STATES MARINE FISHERIES COMMISSION 820 Data Management Specialist 2 – Database Design in Seattle, Washington
[DMS2 -- Database Design Project Description]{.underline}
PSMFC is hiring on behalf of NOAA to enhance the infrastructure and workforce supporting commercial and recreational fishing in U.S. ports. This project aims to improve NOAA's understanding of climate change impacts on shore-side infrastructure and labor.
Access to commercial fishing infrastructure and seafood jobs is vital for resilient fishing communities. Currently, NOAA lacks the necessary data on these issues at national and regional levels. This project will support data modeling and initiatives like the Climate, Ecosystems, and Fisheries Initiative (CEFI) and Community Social Vulnerability Indicators (CSVI), offering insights before natural disasters and for various uses.
Data Management Specialists will help achieve the Physical Infrastructure and Seafood Human Capital supporting Fishing Communities (PISHCFC) project goals by developing a national community fishing and human capital database, creating region-specific datasets, collaboratively designing web tools, and designing new data-sharing tools. Collaboration with NOAA project leads in the Northwest and Southeast Regions, as well as social scientists and other project members across NOAA's Fisheries Science Centers and Regional Offices, is essential.
We are hiring for two Social Science positions that will initially collaborate and then focus on distinct tasks. One will build the database and create mapping tools, while the other will handle data collection and develop outreach. This posting is for the DMS2 - Database Design position.Please refer to the posting for DMS2 - Data Science if you are interested in that position.
