We currently have a vacancy for a Fisheries Socio-Economist based in the Marine Laboratory in Aberdeen.

A reserve list of successful applicants may be kept for additional Fisheries Socio-Economist posts which may arise in the next 12 months.

You will take a lead role in the provision of advice on, and the development of research on, the socio-economic effects and drivers of fisheries management actions and policies.

fishing fleet behaviour and be involved in the incorporation of such models in management strategy evaluations (MSEs). This role contributes to the public services national outcome.

You must have relevant postdoctoral or postgraduate experience in social science, economic or socio-economic modelling.

You must also be able to demonstrate appropriate computational, quantitative and organisational skills.

You must also be able to demonstrate the ability to work as part of a team along with good oral and written communication skills.
