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.
