Dr. Andrea Reid Centre for Indigenous Fisheries (CIF) Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries (IOF) University of British Columbia (UBC) is seeking to hire a research associate to serve as delegate principal investigator focussing dually on CIF operations and the study of Indigenous experiences with and perspectives on sea lamprey control in the Laurentian Great Lakes.

Qualified applicants will have a PhD in oceans and fisheries or related successful candidate will have extensive experience (4 years) in designing implementing analyzing and translating Indigenous community-based research with a particular focus on social-ecological justice in aquatic contexts.
