CCC is Hiring a Two EcologistsApplications Now Being Accepted – Filing
Deadlines: April 21 & May 5, 2023

CCC is hiring two Senior Environmental Scientist (Specialist) positions to
join its Technical Services Unit Ecology Group, with one to be based in
Northern California and the other in Southern California. The Ecology Group
supports the Commission and its staff with review and analysis of proposed
development regarding potential adverse impacts on coastal resources and
conformance with Coastal Act natural resource policies, including those
certified in Local Coastal Plans and similar planning efforts. Our work
extends throughout the coastal zone and includes ecosystems ranging from
offshore depths to forested ridgelines. Staff Ecologists work closely with
regulatory and planning staff as well as specialists in other technical
disciplines and staff on the transportation, legal, and enforcement teams.
Among the many responsibilities, staff Ecologists provide robust analyses
of technical documents, conduct site visits to evaluate on-the-ground
ecological conditions, consult with staff and applicants to identify
measures that facilitate Coastal Act consistency, coordinate with partners
at other state and federal agencies, provide guidance on mitigation
packages, develop technical memoranda, contribute to staff report
conditions and legal findings, deliver testimony and support Commission
deliberation at public meetings, participate in long-term planning efforts,
and serve on technical advisory bodies.

Successful applicants will demonstrate a strong scientific background,
including quantitative and analytical skills, negotiation and writing
skills, and the ability to research and interpret complex coastal resource
issues with awareness of broader resource conflicts and policy
requirements. Experience in a range of California’s coastal and marine
ecosystems, an ability to work on a team in a fast-paced environment while
multitasking across projects and deadlines, and a willingness to learn and
adapt readily are critical. Experience in riparian and terrestrial
communities, fish passage and wildlife crossings, hydroacoustics and noise
issues, climate adaptation, fire ecology, and/or emerging habitat
restoration and mitigation practices are particularly desirable.
Familiarity with the California Coastal Act, the Coastal Zone Management
Act, and CEQA, and experience working with the state’s natural resource
management agencies is beneficial. A PhD or equivalent experience in a
relevant field or position is strongly preferred.
