18. Interns, Humpback Whale Research, Marine & Coastal Ecology Research 
Center

Puerto Rico

Deadline to apply: September 30, 2013

Four full time internships are available for the winter of 2014 to 
assist in PhD dissertation research focusing on seasonal occurrence 
patterns and social strategies of humpback whales (Megaptera
novaeangliae) wintering off Puerto Rico, USA. Two interns will organize 
and analyze data. Two interns will be involved in mentoring students and 
data collection in the field. One of the four selected interns will be 
team leader and all interns must be available for the entire field 
season. This is the 4th year for accepting interns for this long term study.

General description: We anticipate a minimum of 1-3 days/week of vessel 
based data collection, 2-3 days/week land based data collection, and 
inclement weather days spent managing data and mentoring students at the 
base station. Photographic and acoustic data will be analyzed during 
days when field excursions are not practical or possible. There may be 
opportunity for aerial survey experience.

Commitment: Interns are required to be available full time from January 
01-May 01, 2014. Preference is given to recent graduates with a degree 
in marine biology. Previous participation in an MCERC program
is an advantage.Interns must stay at the base station in San German, 
Puerto Rico, USA and be prepared for very long days. We typically rise 
well before sunrise and finish well after sunset each day. Breaks
(“days off“) are infrequent. This is a low density area for humpbacks. 
The ability to maintain land based observations for hours (or even a 
full day) without seeing a whale requires commitment and patience. All 
interns must speak conversational English.

Responsibilities:Interns are fully involved in all aspects of this 
project including preparation and maintenance of equipment, data 
collection and management, up keep of the field house, and mentoring
students who join our team during the field season.We interact with the 
public and peers frequently. Interns will be involved in outreach 
opportunities (impromptu and scheduled).

Two interns will be dedicated to organizing and analyzing photographic 
and acoustic data.Interns in these positions will work Monday- Friday 
(long days with weekends off) at the field station. These are
not field positions.A laptop computer is required and must run a Windows 
based operating system (not Mac) to be able to run necessary software. 
Training will include Mysticetus tracking software, Ishmael
acoustic analysis software, and programs associated with managing 
photographic data.

Two interns will be dedicated to mentoring students participating in the 
Humpback Whale Field Intensive. These positions are Sunday-Friday with 
Saturdays off. One “Education Specialist Intern” will be the team leader 
for all four positions and will have the ability to oversee all tasks 
and the basic routine of the field station. “Education Specialist” 
interns will be trained in collection of data from small
vessel and land based platforms as well as effective teaching methods.

All interns will receive training specific to their roles in the project 
and can expect to learn a great deal from this internship including 
humpback whale ecology, field methods, and cetacean behavioral ecology 
in exchange for a long field season.

Final candidates will be provided contact details of previous interns 
and be expected to engage in a conversation via Skype before the final 
selection to assure new interns are clear about our winter schedule. 
This provides candidates an opportunity to ask questions from peers.

Provisions & Accommodations: You will be provided with a place to sleep 
at the base station and transportation to all field sites (for education 
interns) from the base station at no cost. Interns will pitch in for 
food. Please visit the MCERC website and read the entire description of 
the base station (www.Marine-Eco.org <http://www.marine-eco.org/> prior 
to applying and interviews.

Applications are only accepted for one internship position to assure 
interest is matched with tasks and support interns in maintaining high 
quality research. Applications for both the “data management-analysis” 
position and the “education-data collection” internship cannot be 
considered.The team leader will be selected after all interns are 
accepted.Candidates for internships will complete an interview via Skype 
or in person prior to being accepted for a position for the 2014 field 
season.Notification of acceptance is expected before September 30, 2013. 
Candidates offered an internship will be required to purchase travel to 
Puerto Rico, USA within 2 weeks as a sign of commitment in January 2014. 
A waiting list may be created.
