<span lang="EN">The Center for Coastal Studies (CCS) Marine Fisheries Research Program is offering a unique opportunity to join a small but dynamic team as we expand our community-based collaborative research program. Marine Fisheries Research (MFR) projects
involve cooperative research and education, working directly with fishermen and shellfish farmers, primarily in the Cape Cod region. The program fosters collaboration and understanding between fishermen and scientists by actively seeking out partnerships and
providing a neutral forum for discussion. <o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN">The Research Assistant will work full-time (40 hrs/wk) with the MFR Program Director, scientists at CCS and other partner organizations, as well as commercial fishermen and shellfish farmers in the Cape Cod region. This is a new position with
potential for growth, opportunities for graduate student research and authorship of publications. Ample opportunities exist for program and position expansion, as well as integration with other CCS programs such as our Marine Debris and Shark Ecology Programs,
depending on the candidate's skills and interests. The position features flexible hours (dependent on fieldwork) and a non-traditional work environment. Responsibilities will include coordinating and participating in fieldwork, laboratory work, data entry
and management, preliminary data exploration and analysis, and assisting with preparation of reports and peer-reviewed publications. This position requires an individual to have a bachelor’s degree in marine science or related field and prior experience working
