Marine Conservation Research's (MCR) research team is seeking an experienced and enthusiastic individual to join the team as temporary field work assistant during a project in the English Channel during May-June 2011. Working in close collaboration with other research groups, the project will take place during mid-May until end of June 2011 and is primarily focused on conducting a passive acoustic survey for harbour porpoises, although other cetaceans will be documented/recorded too. The project will be conducted from IFAW's dedicated sailing research vessel, Song of the Whale. SOTW is a 22 m long, purpose-built sailing research vessel with accommodation for 10. Experience in boat-based field work on cetaceans, particularly acoustic research is required as is familiarity with the use of computers. The team onboard will be made up of MCR staff, visiting scientists and volunteers/student interns. Reasonable travel expenses and board and lodging onboard the boat will be provided and a small weekly allowance may also be available.
