About The Position
The Department of Marine Resources (DMR) is seeking a qualified candidate with strong scientific skills to fill one (1) limited period position of Marine Resource Scientist I located at the West Boothbay Harbor Laboratory. This position will be part of a team primarily responsible for processing acoustic recordings for species-specific vocalizations using various software. This position will also be responsible for statistical and ambient noise analyses. This position will perform deployment/retrieval, servicing, and purchasing duties needed to maintain passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) projects. This position will stay up to date on literature and relevant regional projects, and work with the Passive Acoustics Program Lead to present and publish results. Once acoustic datasets have been processed, this position may have the opportunity to conduct a research project using the species detection and/or vocal activity data generated by the team's analysis. With direction from the program lead, this could include identifying a research question, applying for external grant funding, implementing the necessary statistical analyses, and disseminating results. As needed, the position will work across DMR programmatic lines, including for other programs within the Division of Marine Mammal Research and the Division of Ecology and the Environment.
