Colleagues: In anticipation of my retirement in 5 or so years, CRS has posted a position opening in "marine and coastal resources management." The individual hired under this posting will work on policy analysis for the U.S. Congress, including marine mammal policy, with me until I retire. The position can be found on CRS's employment page, under Environmental and Natural Resources Policy, at: http://www.loc.gov/crsinfo/ This page also has links to background about CRS, etc. Closing date on this posting in May 31, 2006. Please pass this along to whomever might be interested. I'd be glad to answer any questions about CRS or this position ... just drop me an e-mail.
