[SEMCO] Hydrographer/Marine Technician Position

[Mark Borrelli]

The Coastal Processes and Ecosystems Laboratory
<https://www.umb.edu/capelab> (CaPE Lab) is looking for a skilled
Hydrographer/Marine Technician and energetic team member in a dynamic,
science-based lab who is interested in living in a unique setting on Cape
Cod, in Massachusetts. The CaPE Lab is a joint research effort between
the School
for the Environment <https://environment.umb.edu/> within the University of
Massachusetts Boston <https://www.umb.edu/> (UMB) and the Center for
Coastal Studies <https://coastalstudies.org/> (CCS) in Provincetown,
Massachusetts.

The successful candidate will lead the day-to-day operations of nearshore,
shallow water acoustic surveys and contribute to ongoing scientific
studies. This person will be stationed at The Center’s Hiebert Marine Lab
in Provincetown, Massachusetts. The Center and UMB have several acoustic
instruments including the Edgetech 6205 phase-measuring sidescan sonar
(550/1600 kHz), the Edgetech 4125 (600/1600 kHz), and the Teledyne RDI
Sentinel V ADCP (1000 kHz). The CaPE Lab has two main acoustic survey
platforms, a customized, shallow-draft, research vessel (27’ Eastern) and a
custom-built 12’ ultra-shallow draft (~0.5 ft) pontoon.

Main responsibilities are the acquisition of hydrographic data during day
cruises based primarily from the Marine Lab in Provincetown and
occasionally other locations. Also, the candidate will be the lead for the
processing of bathymetric data. Days at sea will vary but typically range
from 20-30 days per year. Qualifications include:
•    Experience at sea on vessel-based, acoustic surveys.
•    Experience with hydrographic data acquisition, preferably using Hypack
and Discover.
•    Experience, or aptitude with the planning of field operations and
logistics.
•    Experience, or aptitude with troubleshooting hydroacoustic &
oceanographic equipment.
•    Experience with hydrographic data processing and visualization through
software packages such as Hypack, CARIS, SonarWiz, Fledermaus, and ArcGIS.
•    A Master’s Degree in a relevant field is preferred, though candidates
with long-term professional experience will be considered.
•    Experience with phase-measuring sidescan sonar operations and data
processing a plus.

Hydrographers, technicians, and other specialists are encouraged to apply.
Ample opportunities exist for program expansion, as well as integration
with other UMB and CCS programs, depending on candidate skills and
interests.

Position comes with a comprehensive benefits package and salary is
commensurate with experience. Please submit cover letter and CV via email
