Statistical Geneticist
Dr. Anderson's work is focused on the application of molecular genetic technologies to ecological research and fisheries management. He has authored software used widely in such problems as: the identification of species hybrid categories with genetic markers, genetic mixture analysis, inference of pairwise relationships, pedigree reconstruction, and estimating population abundance through close-kin mark recapture. As a scientist with the National Marine Fisheries Service, Southwest Fisheries Science Center, Eric has been involved in genetic research on a wide range of aquatic species, from salmon and trout and rockfish, to sharks and sawfish and sea otters. Additionally, he serves as a consulting scientist for the Bird Genoscape Project, an effort leveraging whole genome sequencing and spatial variation in genetic variation to develop genetic tools for mapping bird migration pathways. Eric is a research associate at the University of California, Santa Cruz, Institute of Marine Sciences, and a Faculty Affiliate at Colorado State University's Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Biology.
