Job Title: Senior Fisheries Stock Assessment SpecialistLocation: United Arab Emirates (Remote)Employment Type: Full-TimeWork Arrangement: 100% Remote — Work From HomeLevel: SeniorAbout the RoleThe Senior Fisheries Stock Assessment Specialist provides advanced analytical expertise in evaluating fish population dynamics, estimating stock abundance, and assessing the sustainability of fisheries resources. The role focuses on reviewing fisheries survey data, analysing catch and effort records, developing population assessment models, and interpreting biological and ecological indicators to support evidence-based fisheries management. Working entirely remotely, the specialist collaborates with marine scientists, fisheries agencies, research institutions, conservation organizations, and fisheries management teams to provide technical assessments and recommendations for responsible resource utilization.Key ResponsibilitiesAnalyse fisheries-dependent and fisheries-independent datasets to assess the status and trends of commercially and ecologically important fish stocks.Review catch, landings, fishing effort, catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE), and survey data for completeness, consistency, and analytical suitability.Develop, apply, and review quantitative stock assessment models to estimate population abundance, biomass, fishing mortality, and recruitment.Evaluate population dynamics, including growth, natural mortality, age structure, length composition, and reproductive characteristics.Interpret stock indicators and assess changes in population productivity, exploitation levels, and biological reference points.Apply appropriate assessment approaches, including surplus production models, age-structured models, length-based methods, and data-limited assessment techniques.Review fisheries survey reports, biological sampling records, catch statistics, and historical monitoring datasets.Evaluate uncertainty, model assumptions, parameter sensitivity, and data limitations affecting stock assessment outcomes.Conduct scenario analysis to examine the potential effects of alternative fishing mortality levels, harvest strategies, and management measures.Assess the implications of fishing pressure, environmental variability, habitat changes, and other ecological factors on fish population trends.Support the development and evaluation of harvest control rules, catch limits, and fisheries management strategies.Analyse stock status against relevant biological reference points, conservation objectives, and sustainability indicators.Prepare technical reports, model documentation, assessment summaries, and evidence-based management recommendations.Coordinate remotely with fisheries scientists and qualified local survey teams to clarify sampling protocols, field observations, and data collection methods.Review data quality procedures and recommend improvements to fisheries monitoring, biological sampling, and reporting systems.Support regional and international fisheries research projects through quantitative analysis and technical collaboration.Contribute to the preparation of scientific publications, management briefings, and fisheries resource assessment documents.Maintain reproducible analytical workflows, model records, data dictionaries, and traceable technical documentation.Monitor developments in fisheries science, stock assessment methodologies, and internationally recognized fisheries management practices.Qualifications and ExperienceMaster's degree in Fisheries Science, Marine Biology, Fisheries Management, Quantitative Ecology, Applied Statistics, or a closely related discipline; a PhD is an advantage.Significant professional experience in fisheries stock assessment, population modelling, marine resource analysis, or quantitative fisheries research.Strong understanding of fish population dynamics, fisheries biology, ecological processes, and sustainable resource management.Experience analysing catch and effort statistics, CPUE indices, age and length composition, and biological survey data.Practical knowledge of stock assessment methods, including age-structured, length-based, and surplus production models.Familiarity with assessment tools and software such as R, Stock Synthesis, AD Model Builder, FLR, or equivalent analytical platforms.Strong statistical skills, including parameter estimation, uncertainty analysis, model diagnostics, and sensitivity testing.Understanding of biological reference points, fishing mortality, spawning stock biomass, recruitment, and harvest strategies.Experience integrating fisheries-dependent and fisheries-independent information into quantitative assessments.Knowledge of fisheries management frameworks and relevant FAO, regional fisheries management organization, and national fisheries assessment guidelines.Familiarity with GIS, spatial fisheries datasets, and marine environmental data is an advantage.Experience preparing technical assessment reports, scientific publications, and management recommendations.Strong data management, numerical reasoning, and scientific problem-solving skills.Excellent written and verbal communication skills.Ability to work independently and collaborate with geographically distributed research and fisheries management teams.What We OfferFully remote working arrangement within the stated UAE job location.Full-time senior scientific role focused on fisheries population analysis and resource assessment.Opportunities to contribute to sustainable fisheries management and marine resource conservation.Collaboration with fisheries scientists, research institutions, government agencies, and international conservation professionals.Professional development in quantitative ecology, stock assessment modelling, and marine resource management.How to ApplySubmit your updated CV and a cover letter highlighting your experience in fisheries stock assessment, population modelling, statistical analysis, and marine resource management.Application Subject: Application – Senior Fisheries Stock Assessment Specialist (UAE Remote)Important: This is a 100% remote scientific analysis, modelling, technical review, and research coordination role. Physical fisheries surveys, vessel-based sampling, fish collection, biological measurements, tagging, underwater observations, and field monitoring must be performed by qualified local personnel. The specialist works with datasets and field records supplied by authorized research teams and does not perform physical marine operations. Formal fisheries management decisions, catch-limit approvals, statutory assessments, regulatory submissions, and official conservation determinations must be made or authorized by the relevant competent authorities and appropriately qualified professionals. Candidates should confirm applicable employment arrangements, residency requirements, and work authorization before accepting an offer.
