Intern/ Research Assistant, Allied Whale
Bar Harbor, ME
Allied Whale, the marine mammal research lab of College of the Atlantic
located in Bar Harbor, Maine, seeks 4 intern/research assistants for the
2013 field season. These are entry-level research positions designed to
offer experience for individuals seeking to develop their professional
careers in marine mammal research. Two three-month positions
(June-August) and two five-month positions (June-October) are available.
*Overview of position:* This is a unique internship program in that the
selected individuals will have the opportunity to participate and
receive training in a wide range of marine mammal research activities while
receiving a small income. Allied Whale currently supports multiple field
projects in the behavioral ecology and distributions of humpback and fin
whales, the ongoing housing and maintenance of the North Atlantic humpback
and fin whale photo ID catalogs, an active stranding response program,
and a continued relationship with the local whale watch company. In
addition, Allied Whale maintains the facilities on and conducts research
from Mount
Desert Rock, a remote offshore island. The interns play a critical role
in the success of the field season and serve as support to all aspects
of summer activities within Allied Whale.
*Description of duties: *Once the season is in swing, interns will
rotate through time on land and offshore. While on land, interns will
take shifts of working as a Research Assistant (RA)/Deckhand for the Bar
Harbor Whale Watch Co. and being on call for boat-based cetacean surveys
on our research vessel.
*On land: *Research responsibilities on the whale watch tours include
searching for whales, photo-identification of whales and data
collection/entry. Deckhand responsibilities include line handling,
vessel cleaning, helping seasick passengers and passenger safety. RAs
are also responsible for assisting the naturalist in promoting education and
conservation programs on each trip.
While on board our research vessel, interns will be responsible to
participate in cetacean surveys along transect lines, computer data
entry, and photo identification of whales.
While not on the water, interns may freely structure their time to
complete office work, assist with/develop independent projects, assist
with stranding activities...or explore Acadia National Park!
*Offshore: *Interns will have multiple shifts (at least a week in
length) at our offshore research station Mount Desert Rock. While on the
island, interns will participate in land-based whale monitoring from the
lighthouse
tower (with use of a theodolite), opportunistic small boat
photo-identification data collection of whales, seal counts, and
maintenance/construction projects at the station.
*Pay/Housing*: Those accepted to the program are able to earn income by
their work on the Bar Harbor Whale Watch Company. Deckhands are paid $50
a trip (at the height of summer, there are 3 trips running a day) plus
considerable tips. Interns also receive free First Aid Certification.
Housing in Bar Harbor is provided and mandatory for a fee. Rent is $375
a month during the summer when all four interns are present and
increases to $500 a month Sept-October for the two five month interns.
While at Mount Desert Rock, food is provided for free.
*Qualifications: *Applicants should have a college background in biology
and/or marine sciences. Previous experience in a research setting and
knowledge of marine mammals are great advantages. Experience offshore
and skills in small boat handling are also assets. Unfortunately,
because of employment through the whale watch company, all interns must
also be U.S. citizens. Most importantly, applicants must be positive in
attitude, flexible to quickly changing schedules, able to work
independently, and comfortable working on boats. Because of the
community living situation both in Bar Harbor and on Mount Desert
Island, applicants must get along well with others and be able to handle
working in a team setting.
These positions begin June 1st and applicants must be able to work
through with no other commitments (excluding COA students). Please
specify which position you are interested in (three of five month).
Deadline of application is February 15th.
Please send a *cover letter* detailing your reasons for applying, a
*resume*, and *two letters of recommendation* to:
Tanya Lubansky (tlubansky at gmail.com <mailto:tlubansky at gmail.com>,
