Dear Marmam Community, Dr. Erin Meyer-Gutbrod’s Conservation Oceanography lab at the University of South Carolina is recruiting a new graduate student (MS or PhD) in Marine Science for a funded Passive Acoustic Monitoring project. This project would entail collection and analysis of hydrophone data from three types of deployments: archival hydrophones on the sea floor and near real-time hydrophones on stationary buoys and on a Slocum glider. Data are collected between Norfolk, Virginia and Cape Canaveral, FL, with a focus on North Atlantic right whale detections made in and around the calving ground. This project would address sources of environmental, biological, and anthropogenic noise and variation in acoustic propagation by deployment type, location, and season. There would be opportunities to design relevant side projects based on student interest. Qualified applicants could have a background in marine science, biology, acoustics, programming, engineering, or a related field, with an interest in acoustic data analysis. Please contact Dr. Erin Meyer-Gutbrod at [email protected] with a CV and statement of interest by November 15, 2025 for full consideration.
Cheers, Erin -- Dr. Erin L. Meyer-Gutbrod *(she/her)* Assistant Professor School of the Earth, Ocean & Environment University of South Carolina https://meyer-gutbrod.weebly.com/ [email protected] 216-548-9082
