Based on the island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean, the DAREWINprogram (www.darewin.org) studies acoustic and ethology on Humpback Whales, Bottlenose Dolphins and Sperm Whales. We work with different organizations: the NGO Abyss (www.abyss.re), the FFESSM(www.ffessm.fr) and various private operators. This project is conducted under the scientific supervision of laboratories, with a multidisciplinary and international scientific committee.
We offer motivated individuals to join the team for two to three months from the month of July/August. An experience and training in the field of biology and signal processing is a plus. Similarly boating license and a freediving level are preferable.
