Abstracts are being accepted for both spoken and poster presentations. Please visit http://www.whalingmuseum.org/programs/watkins-symposium-2015 Contact lsayigh@whoi.edu with any questions about the event.

A position is open for an intern/guest student to work at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for 4-9 months, starting in the fall and potentially continuing through May. Hours are flexible, and can be part time. Some support is available for travel, but the position is unpaid and the volunteer would need to make their own living arrangements. Responsibilities would include screening of acoustic recordings for marine mammal sounds and data analyses. Applicants with some acoustic analysis experience, and particularly with Matlab and Raven, are especially encouraged. If interested, please email Laela Sayigh (lsayigh@whoi.edu) with your CV, unofficial transcript and the names of two references by September 1.
