The North Pacific Research Board (NPRB) has extended the deadline for nominations for Advisory Panel seats. NPRB is seeking to fill two Science Panel seats representing Social Science and/or Indigenous Scholarship and one Advisory Panel seat representing the Gulf of Alaska.
The Science Panel assists the Board in shaping its entire scientific program. The Science Panel advises the Board on science planning and identification of research priorities, identification and evaluation of scientific and research information relevant to the Board's mission, and review of proposals and technical evaluations received by the Board.
Desired qualifications for the Science Panel seats include expertise in one or more of the following categories:
- Social science, including but not limited to anthropology, geography, political science, sociology, and resource management/co-management; and
- Indigenous scholarship, including Indigenous knowledge and governance systems in Alaska.
Strong candidates will demonstrate applied expertise, knowledge of pressing fisheries management issues, research needs, priorities of state and/or federal managers, and ecosystem information needs.
The Advisory Panel represents stakeholders, user groups, and other interested parties from regions within the Board’s purview: The Gulf of Alaska, the Bering Sea, and the Arctic, and one at-large seat. Appointments are for three-year terms, with a maximum of two consecutive terms.
The Advisory Panel has a significant advice-giving role, with active involvement in setting research priorities and defining questions, as well as highlighting proposals with special stakeholder relevance. Advisory Panel members advise the Board on accomplishing its overall mission of fielding a high caliber, comprehensive research program that will improve their understanding of the Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands, and Arctic Ocean ecosystems and their fisheries, and help sustain and enhance marine resources.
