This current position builds\ \ on my former role as a Supervisory Research Fish biologist working on native\ \ salmonine and coregonine species restoration and conservation while supervising\ \ the Lake Ontario Biological Station (LOBS). LOBS is in the Deepwater branch\ \ for the Great Lakes Science Center (GLFC) and is home to the 70ft RVKaho.\ \ The Tunison laboratory for Aquatic Science (TLAS) is in the Restoration and\ \ Conservation branch of GLSC and is an experimental facility with two large\ \ wet laboratories used recently to support coregonine and Atlantic salmon restoration.\ \ The two facilities were combined administratively in the summer of 2022 in\ \ anticipation of major renovations for TLAS and to foster synergy between the\ \ two offices less than two hours apart in central NY. The synergy between\ \ the two stations will build upon the existing programs and partnerships at\ \ LOBS and its access to Lake Ontario and the ability to stand up controlled\ \ laboratory experiments at the TLAS. My role is to provide leadership and support\ \ to restructuring science staff at both locations, hiring new staff, supporting\ \ major facilities initiatives, and fostering a new culture that embraces realignment\ \ of the research to support the high priority restoration and conservation\ \ science decided upon in collaboration between USGS and the regional management\ \ agencies and decision makers." professional_experience: - Sep 2022 - present, Supervisory Fish Biologist (GS 13), Tunison - Lake Ontario Biological Stations (TLOBS), Oswego and Cortland NY. - Apr 2017 - Nov 2018, Acting Eastern Basin Branch Chief (GS-14) - USGS Lake Ontario Biological Station, Oswego NY. - Nov 2008- Sep 2022, Supervisory Research Fishery Biologist (GS-13) - USGS Lake Ontario Biological Station, Oswego NY. - April 2008-Nov 2008, Acting Station Supervisor (GS-13) - USGS Lake Ontario Biological Station, Oswego NY. - Nov 2005-Nov 2008, Research Fishery Biologist (GS-12) - USGS Lake Ontario Biological Station, Oswego NY. - Nov 2001- Nov 2005, Research Fishery Biologist (GS-11) - USGS Lake Ontario Biological Station, Oswego NY. - Jul 1997 - Nov 2001, Biologist, Aquatic - New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Cape Vincent NY. title: Supervisory Research Fisheries Biologist
