[MARMAM] Job Posting: Research Technician for Pacific Whale Foundation (Maui, USA)

2022-11-06 Thread PWF Research Department
Job Posting: Research Technician for Pacific Whale Foundation (Maui, USA)

The research department at Pacific Whale Foundation is recruiting for the newly 
created position of Research Technician, to report directly to our Research 
Manager, Dr. Shannon Barber-Meyer.

Pacific Whale Foundation is a 501c(3) non-profit dedicated to protecting the 
ocean through science and advocacy and inspiring environmental stewardship. Our 
researchers have studied whales and dolphins throughout the Pacific for over 40 
years. The long-term goal of our research program is to identify and assess 
major threats to whales and dolphins around the world and develop science-based 
solutions to mitigate these problems.

The Research Technician will be responsible for supporting and assisting with 
our long-term humpback whale and dolphin research in Hawai’i. The focus will be 
on UAS (drone) related research, but will also include collecting ID 
photographs, behavioral observations, and associated data from a dedicated 
research vessel. Data are expected to be processed daily and in a timely manner.


The successful Research Technician candidate works at the direction of the 
Research Manager and will hold an FAA Part 107 Small Unmanned Aircraft System – 
Remote Pilot License or be able to obtain one upon hire. They will also possess 
a Bachelor of Science degree (or higher) or extensive relevant work experience 
and have a working knowledge of marine mammal field techniques, including 
photo-identification procedures and methodologies.


This is a regular, full-time (40 hours per week), hourly, exempt, position 
based out of Ma’alaea Harbor, Maui, Hawai'i. The successful candidate must 
possess the ability to work a flexible field schedule that may include 
weekends, evenings and holidays as fieldwork is heavily weather dependent. The 
team often works above the standard 40 hours per week when the weather permits, 
and time off in lieu is given to account for this. Applicants must have current 
authorization to work in the United States of America.


Pay starting from $47,000 per year, based on skills and experience.


Apply online at: https://1.adp.com/97rPnPCRBss


Applications will only be accepted through the above link (no phone calls or 
drop-ins please).
