[MARMAM] Internship Posting

[Pavlinovic, Alexander]

I am looking for three research assistants for a project this spring (expected 
dates: February 27th-May 31st, 2021) to study the impacts of boats on gray 
whales in Washington. There will also be at least two days of equipment 
training before the dates listed above/fieldwork. This position is through The 
Evergreen State College.



During and before this time, there will be specific protocols for limiting the 
risks of COVID. These protocols will require spending the whole period, listed 
above, living, and working together without the opportunity to leave the field 
site, short of emergencies. These plans can change due to the COVID situation.



While the current budget does not allow for a salary, living fees will be 
covered at the research site (food, housing, travel expenses around the 
research site) for approximately three months.



This opportunity is a great experience for anyone interested in studying marine 
mammals. You will be gaining field experience with a theodolite, taking 
identification pictures, identifying different species of marine mammals, and 
learning other necessary field skills.



To be considered as a serious candidate, you will be required to be proficient 
in Excel and be able to type. Preference will be given to individuals with any 
of the following skills or experiences: GIS, fieldwork, R, and theodolite. The 
work will be conducted outside rain or shine, and the team will live and work 
in close quarters. These efforts will require people to stand for up to 12 
hours a day. The ability to get along with others is critical.



If you are interested, please send me a resume/CV, cover letter, and contact 
information for two references to the email listed below. Please put in the 
subject of the email Gray Whale Position Application.



Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis. The deadline for submitting 
is January 24th.



Also, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.



Sincerely,

Alexander (Alex) Pavlinovic

Marine Mammal Summer Internships on Cape Cod, MA
The International Fund for Animal Welfare’s (IFAW) Marine Mammal Rescue & 
Research Program is currently accepting applications for Marine Mammal 
Stranding Response Internships for Summer 2014.  Interns will be placed in one 
of two available tracks (Response or Necropsy), however all interns will 
receive cross-training in both areas.
Background
IFAW is an international non-profit organization with headquarters in Yarmouth 
Port, Massachusetts, USA. IFAW’s Marine Mammal Rescue and Research Program is a 
federally authorized response program dedicated to marine mammal stranding 
response on Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts.  Our mission is to promote 
the conservation of marine mammal species and their habitat by improving the 
rescue and humane care of stranded marine mammals, advancing stranding science, 
and increasing public awareness through education. Cape Cod is a marine mammal 
stranding “hot spot”, with over 230 strandings per year, including live and 
dead seals, large whales, porpoises and dolphins.  This area is especially 
unique due to the high occurrence of live mass stranded dolphins.

Internship Duties – Response Track
- Assist staff with all aspects of marine mammal stranding response including; 
live animal health assessment and triage, 24 hour hotline coverage, dispatch of 
volunteers, opportunistic public education, and biological data collection and 
sampling from dead stranded marine mammals.

organizing, and maintaining stranding response gear and equipment
- Assist in data entry of case files, call logs, and volunteer hour tracking 
data

documentation including photos and video
- General office duties and report and outreach/education material preparation
Internship Duties - Necropsy Track
- Assist the necropsy coordinator in performing post-mortem examinations in 
both field and laboratory settings
- Assist in maintaining, cleaning, and organizing necropsy equipment and 
supplies
- Assist in photo archiving and data entry

science preferred

- The ideal candidate will possess good communication skills, can work 
independently, and should have a working knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, 
and PowerPoint.
Learning outcomes
While hands-on experience is opportunistic and the number and type of responses 
will be variable, most interns have the opportunity to:
-  Develop skills in identifying species commonly stranded on Cape Cod
-  Acquire basic stranded cetacean and pinniped assessment and triage 
skills
-  Gain knowledge of response logistics and management including the 
use of the Incident Command System
-  Increase knowledge of biology and anatomy of species commonly 
stranded on Cape Cod
-  Gain knowledge of the stranding network structure and operation, and 
marine mammal policy as it relates to strandings
-  Acquire basic data collection and necropsy skills
-  Participate in active research projects as appropriate

Additional Information
This internship is unpaid.  Housing and transportation are the responsibility 
of the intern.  International applicants will be considered, but is the 
responsibility of the applicant to acquire necessary visas and documentation;

are flexible but the position requires a minimum 10 week continuous commitment
