This role supports NOAA scientists in developing scholarly manuscripts by compiling literature, maintaining bibliographic databases, and co-authoring research documents for the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC)

Join @Orchard in advancing high-impact scientific publications for NOAA Fisheries by supporting the Northeast Fisheries Science Center’s (NEFSC) Senior Scientist. This role contributes directly to national and international research initiatives by assisting with the development, organization, and drafting of peer-reviewed manuscripts and technical documents.

  • Providing updates to the bibliographic database for the Senior Scientist

  • Searching the bibliographic database

  • Revising outlines collaboratively as provided by the Senior Scientist

  • Ensuring logical considerations are maintained on the identified topics

  • Perusing manuscripts provided by the Senior Scientist to ensure adequate referencing of topical statements.
