Positions have a high likelihood of extending into the fall depending on job performance and other ongoing projects within the company.  Lodging and meals are provided at remote work locations. The successful candidates will have an undergraduate degree in fisheries or related field or the equivalent from job experience and training. Individuals that have experience operating fish traps, collecting biological data from juvenile salmonids and familiarity with juvenile salmonid identification will receive preference. Proficiency in Microsoft Excel is essential for the positions.

Learn from a suite of experts how to navigate the USAjobs application process! Regardless of where you are in your academic or professional career, there is always more to learn to successfully navigate applying for NOAA opportunities. This will be an interactive workshop where we will walk through different scenarios so we encourage you to ask questions throughout the workshop.

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.
