Vice President of Conservation and Science, Monterey Bay Aquarium
Monterey, CA
The Monterey Bay Aquarium seeks to recruit a Vice President of
Conservation and Science.
The Vice President is responsible for overall leadership of the
aquarium’s Conservation and Science Division and is a member of the
senior leadership team of the aquarium. The current activity areas in
this division include Seafood Watch, ocean conservation policy and
conservation research.
Through its work in conservation and science, the aquarium has redefined
the public aquarium as a force for tangible conservation results. The
aquarium’s role as a trusted source of information and its ability to
communicate with millions of people provide huge opportunities to
influence people to act on behalf of ocean conservation, through their
consumer habits and their voices for policy change. The aquarium’s
flagship program, Seafood Watch, is having a powerful influence driving
concrete action by individuals and businesses, in turn driving a
remarkable rate of growth in the sustainable seafood movement. Building
on this success, in the coming years Seafood Watch will continue to
serve as the main source of credible research for the sustainable
seafood movement and leverage its influence in creating a future in
which seafood is farmed and fished in ways that lead to healthy oceans
and thriving communities. In the ocean policy arena, the aquarium has
focused its efforts on a policy agenda that is selective to ensure that
it achieves maximum impact and avoids duplicating the work of others.
The aquarium was deeply involved in the implementation of California’s
Marine Life Protection Act and has sponsored and supported a suite of
wildlife protection bills over the years that link to the key species of
Monterey Bay and its exhibit themes. In the broader arena, with several
aquarium trustees having served on the Pew Oceans Commission, the policy
group has also worked to implement ocean policy reform at the national,
regional and state level. To inform its ocean policy priorities, the
Conservation Research program will support a focused research effort,
continuing to be closely aligned with the aquarium’s policy priorities
and built from the aquarium’s exhibit themes and species which reflect
its core expertise.

Marine Mammal Photo-ID Internships at HBOI
Ft. Pierce, FL
Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Florida Atlantic University is
now accepting applications for two voluntary research positions in the
Population Biology and Behavioral Ecology (PBBE) Program. Successful
applicants will participate in marine mammal photo-identification
including image analysis, field work, and potentially GIS mapping work.
Positions are available throughout the year with 3 sessions: mid
January - mid May; mid May - mid August; mid August - mid December.
There is some flexibility with the above dates. Please submit
application materials with as much notice as possible, preferably at
least one month prior to your desired session start date. If interested
in participating for a longer duration, it may be possible to combine
two of the above sessions. Volunteers will be expected to commit to a
minimum of 30 hours per week, excluding University recognized holidays.
Harbor Branch is located in Fort Pierce, FL, adjacent to the Indian
River Lagoon. The PBBE program conducts boat-based photo-ID surveys of
Western North Atlantic bottlenose dolphins in estuarine waters of
Eastern Florida. We investigate multiple aspects of dolphin population
biology, foraging ecology and social organization, including temporal
and spatial aspects of abundance and distribution. Voluntary Researchers
will primarily focus on image analysis with some photo-ID field work.
These are unpaid positions, but this is an excellent opportunity to gain
experience with marine mammal research and image analysis. Participants
will be under the supervision of experienced dolphin researchers and
will learn many valuable skills. If students intend to receive
university credit for their participation, they are responsible for
making all arrangements with their educational institution. Participants
are also responsible for their own living arrangements and expenses.
Ideal candidates will be advanced undergraduates or recent graduates of
a university program in marine science, biology, ecology, or a related
field. We are seeking applicants with a strong work ethic, a mature
attitude towards marine mammal research, and preferably prior marine
mammal experience. As these are unpaid positions, applicants must fill
out the Volunteer Application found at
http://www.fau.edu/hboi/Donate.php (scroll down to "Donate Your Time"
and click on Volunteer Application).
To apply, please send a r?sum? and cover letter with the completed
Volunteer Application to Cathy Rossmell at crossmel at fau.edu
<mailto:crossmel at fau.edu>. Please indicate PBBE- Photo-ID as your area
of interest on the application. Please include the session(s) and/or
dates you are applying for in your cover letter.
Florida Atlantic University is an Equal Opportunity/Equal Access
Employer and is committed to the diversity of its workforce.
