Fundacion MERI is in need of a highly motivated undergraduate or Master's level student to assist the work on the internal database to be added to the Southern Hemisphere Blue Whale Catalogue ( <http://bluewhalecatalogue.org/> http://bluewhalecatalogue.org/), with the data we have collected since 2014. The student is expected to run analysis of habitat use (oceanography) in relation to blue whale sightings. The student will be partially funded by our research team. Students with experience in oceanography will be strongly considered. At the same time the student would be required to participate in the marine mammal field monitoring program we carry on in Patagonia. The student will work in the project between 6-10 months during 2017. Project specifics will be provided upon inquiry. Interested candidates please email Dr. Gustavo Chiang at <mailto:gchiang@fundacionmeri.cl> gchiang@fundacionmeri.cl for more information. Please include any questions, as well as a CV and previous experience/skills (if any ).
