Sci Pad


This page contains science links. Well, mainly fisheries links and a few statistics sites. Since I've had to find two jobs in the past two years, I've put together a pretty extensive list of marine fisheries job listings, targeting employment at the post-graduate level. The weather links should prove useful to anyone sampling in the field so that they don't get their ass kicked by a hurricane or something. This page is under-construction (aren't they all?). If you have any comments, suggestions, or links to add/delete/modify, please e-mail me.

I tried to fulfill two needs when creating this page. The first was a site with decent links to other marine fisheries resources. The second, and probably most important (no $ = no home, no food, no beer, no computer, etc.), was a comprehensive list of direct job sites. I hate muddling through a bunch of links just to find the job page (which usually doesn't contain anything of interest, anyway). At the same time, if I do find something of interest, I like to be able to go back to the parent page to find out more about the organization.

The final organization I came up with may seem a little anal (especially since I coded this in WordPad), but it accomplishes both objectives. The links below provide direct links to the organization of interest, as well as links to job sites specific to that organization if it exists. To make job hunting a little easier, job links are red (or fuchsia if the site has already been visited).
