In a new class taught by Dr. Amy Van Cise, students can dive into the world of evolutionary ecology of marine mammals.
FISH 497B MWF 12:30–1:20 pm

Explore the diverse and integral ecological roles played by marine mammals in our global aquatic ecosystems, from coastal and riverine to open ocean and deep ocean environments.
Examine the major evolutionary adaptations driving the radiation of mammals into the aquatic environment and into a diverse array of ecological niches. 

The Open House offers a free and family-friendly afternoon of hands-on learning to celebrate science and research that relates to water. 

The University of Washington School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences and the School of Oceanography invite applications for a full-time (100% FTE), 9-month, non-tenured faculty position at the level of Assistant or Associate Teaching Professor in the broad field of marine sciences. Primary teaching responsibilities will be in the Marine Biology program at the University of Washington field station, Friday Harbor Laboratories (FHL). 

A new Minor has been launched at SAFS. Explore the physical, biological, and social dimensions of freshwater ecosystems to help solve the sustainability challenges of today and tomorrow, with the Freshwater Science and Management Minor. 

We’re pleased to announce that the SAFS Cafe is starting back up for winter quarter 2023!

The School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences (SAFS) at the University of Washington seeks to fill a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level with specialization in the ecology of coastal marine ecosystems. The successful applicant is expected to establish a collaborative, externally funded and nationally recognized research program, and demonstrate the potential to engage with regional partners addressing coastal ecosystem conservation, restoration, and management issues. 

The School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences (SAFS) at the University of Washington-Seattle seeks to fill a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level with specialization in sustainable aquaculture. We aim to hire a faculty member whose empirical research studies aquaculture through a lens of food security, social or livelihood effects, environmental impacts, or climate change. Research can focus on the level of organism, species, production system, or ecosystem.  

Offered for the first time this Winter, a new course on Freshwater Ecology and Conservation – FISH 200 – will be taught by Professor Julian Olden and Professor Gordon Holtgrieve.
With hands-on experience in wet labs and field trips, get the chance to journey through the underwater world of rivers and lakes and explore the life and death of organisms in a rapidly changing planet. 

Washington Sea Grant announces that Ashley Townes, who is completing her doctorate in fisheries ecology at SAFS, has been selected as the 2022–2023 WSG Keystone Fellow.
