Cetacean photo-id internship in Reykjavík, Iceland Elding Whale Watching, based in Reykjavík, Iceland, will be offering 3 students (Bachelor's or Master's) the opportunity to join us for an internship of up to 5 months to learn the basic skills of cetacean behaviour, cetacean data collection, data preparation and photo-identification. This is a great way to get your marine biology career started! Interns are expected to work 5 days a week and will either be on our boats to collect behavioural and photographic data or in the office to process data on a computer. Timings and exact days can be flexible once the basic training is completed. As data is collected during whale watching trips, applicants need to agree to also interact with passengers from time to time as we want to increase awareness about cetaceans and their threats. Main aspect of the research will be photo-identification which is done not only in our company internally but also in cooperation with other institutes. However, also geographical as well social analyses are done.
