The Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) is accepting applications for three summer courses scheduled for 2023. This popular suite of university-level summer courses, designed to immerse an international cohort of students in an intensive 3-week program of coursework and research that is unique in marine science education. Founded in 1903, BIOS is a world-class ocean science research and education facility. These courses, listed below, provide undergraduate and graduate students with the opportunity to expand their studies into subtropical environments and/or to investigate topics in ocean science, which are not offered within the curricula of their home institutions. BIOS has quick and easy access to a diverse array of subtropical marine habitats and ocean locations which, combined with lectures, discussions and integrated field work and laboratory exercises, provide an optimal environment for experiential learning.

The Participant Coordinator is the nexus point of participants, and of student interns, responsible for the coordination of and communication with all COASST participants, including, but not limited to training. The Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST) is a rigorous citizen science organization based in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences at the University of Washington. Now 22 years old, COASST recruits and trains coastal citizens from northern California north to Kotzebue, Alaska to survey their local beach in a systematic, standardized fashion, returning data on a monthly basis about the number, identity, and condition of beached marine birds and, separately, marine debris.

In the second episode of the “Where Are They Now?” series, we speak to Andrew Chin (BS 2020) who is now a Fish Biologist at NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center.
The series showcases UW’s Marine Biology graduates in their early careers.

This is a temporary position with variable hours, ranging from 20 to 40 hours a week, scheduled to start on approximately June 1st and end on August 18th, 2023.

The Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean, and Ecosystem Studies (CICOES) is searching for a student to contribute to research on climate change impacts on marine mammal, fish, zooplankton, phytoplankton, and microbial ecology. This position will provide experience in standard sterile molecular techniques, next generation sequencing, molecular ecology, and biological oceanography. In addition, this position will provide first-hand experience working at a federal research lab and including learning about the many potential career trajectories within NOAA and the federal government broadly.

This position is located within the Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) with one vacancy located in Juneau, AK. As a Fish Biologist, you will perform the following duties: Utilize statistical procedures and software to provide quantitative analyses related to fishery-independent survey design, sampling gear efficiency, biological and ecosystem processes; Apply knowledge of marine fisheries to support fishery-independent resource surveys and associated data collection methods; Participate in the dissemination of data, as well as communication efforts.

Puget Sound Restoration Fund (PSRF) is hiring two new positions to join our Oyster and Bull Kelp restoration programs. The two techs will work with our team to develop and implement restoration projects, monitoring campaigns, and applied research in the laboratory and field.

Seasonal positions are unique, rewarding, and challenging! Students, faculty, and staff all live and work on Appledore Island in a close-knit, teamwork-oriented community. Room & board on Appledore Island and transportation between SML and the mainland are provided for all SML staff. Staff members are housed separately from students in Bartels Hall. Meals are served in Kiggins Commons, where staff dines with the entire island community. Positions are full-time during the season. The work week is generally 5 days residentially on the island, and two days off which may be spent ashore or on Appledore. Start and end dates for seasonal staff vary with each position.
