NOAA Fisheries Alaska Region, Protected Resources Division, is advertising to fill a second Marine Mammal Specialist position (different from the marine mammal stranding coordinator job posted last month).  This is a ZP-401-2/3 position (GS 7/9 or 11/12 equivalent) located in Anchorage, and involves co-management of subsistence use of northern fur seals with our Alaska Native partners on the Pribilof Islands, as well as opportunities to work on other marine mammal conservation issues.  The job is posted three ways: MAP (status applicants) and DE (non-status applicants) at the ZP-2 level, and Direct Hire (all qualified applicants) at the ZP-3 level.  The announcements open on Thursday, September 12, 2019, and close on Wednesday, September 25, 2019.  Please encourage qualified people to apply, and forward this email to anyone who may be interested.  Anyone with questions should contact Greg Balogh (907-271-3023 or greg.balogh@noaa.gov) or me (907-586-7638 or jon.kurland@noaa.gov).  Thanks!
