   personal_statement: "EDUCATIONPh.D., Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, University\
     \ of Florida, 2010M.S., Wildlife and Fisheries Science, Texas A&M University,\
     \ 1981B.S., Wildlife Resources (Magna Cum Laude), West Virginia University,\
     \ 1978RESEARCHFred Johnson's principal interest is in the application of decision\
     \ science to problems in natural resource management.  Such applications require\
     \ a multi-disciplinary approach to engage stakeholders in the decision-making\
     \ process, to predict the responses of ecological systems to controlled and\
     \ uncontrolled drivers, to elicit societal values regarding the consequences\
     \ of management policy, and to develop monitoring programs to compare predicted\
     \ and realized system behaviors.  Johnson is particularly active in migratory\
     \ bird management, with experience in problems of recreational and subsistence\
     \ harvest, pest control, and habitat management.  His scientific expertise is\
     \ mostly in the areas of population ecology, statistical inference, dynamic\
     \ systems modeling, and optimal decision making.BACKGROUND1989 \u2013 2007:Wildlife\
