[Coral-List] Employment opportunity as CIMAR PIFSC Marine Ecosystems Research Technician

[Courtney Couch - NOAA Affiliate]

Aloha,



The Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research (CIMAR) is
currently recruiting 3 Marine Ecosystem Research Technicians within the
PIFSC Ecosystem Sciences Division based in Honolulu, HI.

PIFSC implements NOAA’s National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP)
across the U.S. Pacific Islands, tracking biological trends and recording
climate- and human-driven impacts on coral reefs. Technicians participate
in research cruises and conduct marine-ecosystem surveys of the U.S.
Pacific Islands using SCUBA (maximum of 30-60 days per year). Thus,
successful candidates will have prior experience with marine underwater
survey techniques and a general working knowledge of marine ecology and
coral-reef systems, including benthic and fish communities, and
oceanographic processes.



Outside of field-operations, technicians support the program by assisting
with a variety of analyses to develop products informative for management
needs of federal partners, local jurisdictions, and collaborative research
institutions. Successful candidates will have experience with processing,
analyzing, and summarizing data, and assisting with the preparation of
scientific reports for publication and presentation. We are particularly
interested in candidates with experience in any or all of the following:
conducting image analysis in CoralNet or Structure-from-Motion annotation
to derive coral demographic information, experience identifying and
surveying Pacific reef fish, and/or experience working with passive
acoustic recorders used to capture underwater soundscapes.



Successful candidates will have experience in at least one of the
following: oceanographic processes, reef fish taxonomy, coral taxonomy,
algal taxonomy, coral reef ecology, GIS, marine underwater survey
techniques, or underwater passive acoustics.



DEADLINE: Please note the deadline to apply is June 16, 2022.
