We have two places left for a marine mammal placement under the Marine Mammals
Research Association and National History of Montenegro in Montenegro, starting
from December 2016. Montenegro Dolphin Project is the first year round study
and aim to address the questions on cetacean abundance, distribution and
behaviour through boat and land surveys. The project provides an excellent
opportunity for post-grads, students and individuals interested in getting more
experience and knowledge in the field of marine mammal research, with courses
on ArcGIS, theodolite operation, DISCOVERY and behavioural sampling. VOLUNTEERS
are primarily responsible for behavioural data collection, theodolite
operation, photographing cetacean individuals and cataloging dolphin pictures,
data entry. Training will be provided beforehand. The land surveys will be min
of twice a week and boat surveys will be once a week, depending on the weather.
There will be an opportunity to undertake a personal research project and write
a publication supervised by the project director. REQUIREMENTS Knowledge on
marine mammal species is advantage. Practical experience of
photo-identification (both photography and matching) and theodolite operation
is desirable. The applicant must be fluent in English, proficient with database
and word processing software and be willing to learn new software applications.
Volunteers must be self-motivated, with the drive and determination to work
independently and responsibly, and with a true interest in marine conservation.
The minimum duration of the placements is normally 2 complete months. We may
make exceptions for potential participants to apply for a shorter placement.
PROJECT FEE This position is unpaid and requires a contribution fee of 550 euro
per month, which covers the accommodation, equipment, training and working
expenses for the participants.
