The Recruitment Processes Program (RPP) conducts research across the 1.5 million mile span of Alaskan waters, providing data on seasonal fisheries, and developing environmental and biological indices of ecosystem health annually for resource management. We conduct our research in four of the Large Marine Ecosystems (LME) of Alaska: the Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea, Chukchi Sea and Beaufort Sea. We have an opportunity for post-doctoral work in the Arctic LMEs, the Chukchi Sea and Beaufort Sea. RPP and our research partners are working towards understanding the impact of loss of sea ice in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas ecosystems. This work is especially timely because of continued ocean warming and apparent acceleration in loss of sea ice. Loss of sea ice has the potential to impact speci
