Cetacean research internships - Winter-Spring 2015
by Bruno Diaz Lopez 26 Apr '15

26 Apr '15

Cetacean research internships - Last call Winter-Spring Season 2015 Hi everyone, On behalf of the Bottlenose Dolphin Research Institute (BDRI), I am pleased to announce that we are currently accepting internship applications for winter-spring term 2015 (a minimum of 60 days of participation) for our research project along the North-western coast of the Iberian Pensinsula (Galician waters, Spain). Our mission (since 2005) is to promote the conservation of marine mammal species and their habitat through education and research. Interns can expect to gain a solid foundation in cetaceans behavioural ecology and sociobiology with a focus on dolphins ethology, habitat use and communication. Furthermore, as the Galician coastline is known for frequent strandings of various marine mammals species, the participants will be a part of an important network for rescue and data collection from these stranded animals. The BDRI offers the interns the chance to work during many steps of the research. Your participation means that you will not only be observing the studied animals at sea, but you will also be collecting different types of scientific data, using various research methods, and helping on board the research vessel in general. When back in the lab, you will participate in the transcription of the collected data, with the database work, you will use various softwares, perform photo-identification analysis, use of GIS and more. Moreover interns will also assist with marine mammals rescue (cetaceans and seals), carcass salvage, analysis of stomach contents, and field necropsies as needed in Galician waters. Hence, interns will also receive cross-training in different areas related with the strandings (Response, Rescue, Necropsy and data collection). As an internship, you will be encouraged to work hard and gain an insight of what it is actually like to work as a marine mammal researcher. An academic background in biology, veterinary or natural science, coupled with motivation, willingness to work hard and interest in marine mammals research make the most qualified individuals. Our centre understands the importance of giving the participant the responsibilities and experience which give an insight and reflect the ones of a true future job in the field of marine mammal science. The BDRI is a private and self-funded centre, hence, there is no compensation for the internship positions. The tuition fee includes the accommodation in an apartment, tuition and a small part of other expenses derived of your participation (use of equipment, field trips by car, use of research vessel). Successful applicants will be responsible for their own transportation expenses to and from the research centre (O Grove, Galicia, Spain). Internship start and end dates are flexible but the position requires a minimum 8 weeks continuous commitment sometime between January 15th through November 30th. The intern is required to complete a project and present a 10 minute presentation at the end of their internship. Undergraduate and postgraduate students could, as a part of one of BDRIs projects, present a personal research project as their thesis work. In order to do so, this is requested within your internship application. If the intern intends to receive academic credit, he/she will be responsible for making all arrangements with their educational institutions. There is no deadline to apply. However, approved applications are accepted on a first-come, first serve basis. Apply early! Positions are open until filled (maximum 8 vacancies). Prior field research experience is recommended but not required. Please download the internships general information and application form at: www.thebdri.com/resources/downloads/internships.pdf www.thebdri.com/resources/downloads/applicationinternships.doc Send the application form, resume, recommendation letters, and cover letter by email to the email: info(a)thebdri.com For more information about BDRI's research and conservation work, please visit www.thebdri.com or our Facebook page.

2015 DUKE UNIVERSITY MARINE CONSERVATION SUMMER INSTITUTE
by Katie Wood 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

Application Window Open: Duke University 2015 MARINE CONSERVATION SUMMER INSTITUTE: Science, Policy and Ethics of Marine Conservation 6 July through 7 August 2015 Marine Laboratory Campus Nicholas School of the Environment Beaufort, NC 2015 Themes * Human Dimensions and the Marine Environment * Coastal Aquaculture and Conservation * Ocean Energy and Sustainability * Invasive Species * Sea Turtle & Marine Mammal Conservation & US Oceans Law Duke Faculty Instructors Dr. Doug Nowacek, Conservation Technology (Institute Director) Dr. Xavier Basurto, Sustainability & Ocean Governance Dr. James Morris, Marine Ecology Dr. Andy Read, Conservation Biology, Marine Vertebrates Mr. Steve Roady, Environmental Law Distinguished Guest Lecturer: Dr. Joao Ferreira, Marine Aquaculture The Marine Conservation Summer Institute<http://superpod.ml.duke.edu/mcsi/> (MCSI) is an intensive 5-week program that uses a trans-disciplinary approach to engage students and professionals in global marine conservation topics. The institute immerses students in the world of marine conservation biology and policy, giving them a set of fundamental tools for addressing and understanding issues of conserving marine biodiversity in the context of 21st Century society. The Institute is set in the vibrant educational and research setting of the Duke University Marine Laboratory in Beaufort, North Carolina. The institute is open to advanced undergraduates, graduates, environmental professionals, and international practitioners. The 2014 MCSI hosted 32 participants from 21 countries; we expect similar representation in 2015. Registration is open and will remain open until the course is filled, but space is limited. The five-week course consists of one introductory week covering the basics of natural and social science as they relate to marine conservation, followed by four intensive week-long modules led by experts and consisting of plenary lectures, discussions, field trips, and other activities. During week 5, participants will synthesize products (e.g., by building story maps) that become legacy resources of the Institute. MCSI focuses on hands-on, team-based, experiential learning with meaningful faculty-student engagement that are hallmarks of the educational environment at the Marine Laboratory. Students will be in the field and at the discussion table, learning from the faculty and from one another. Eligibility Open to national and international practitioners, graduate students, advanced undergraduates. Duke Credits 7 credits (2 course equivalents) Fees Tuition: $7,238 Room & Board: $2,414 Duke Fees: $180.75* * International students will incur additional fees for passports, visas, and health insurance.
