Description |
IMPORTANT: This Advertiser has requested that applicants MUST be National Residents / Valid Work Permit-holders. Other applicants need not apply.
The biologist/lab technician will assist both in the lab and on research cruises collecting samples and data related to a herring research project. The majority of work involves preparation and analysis of fish laboratory samples, sample management, and data entry. The technician will be expected to perform laboratory analytical protocols including otolith and scale removal and bomb calorimetry. Some of the lab samples are prepared for stable isotope analysis at labs outside of Cordova. The technician will complete additional lab and field duties as prescribed by Dr. Thomas Kline. Presently, field work requires 7-14 day research cruises approximately two-three times each year, primarily in Prince William Sound. When not in the field (on research cruises), the work week will be a regular 40-hour week, although the hours may be worked on a flexible schedule as agreed upon with the supervisor (e.g. four 10-hour days or five 8- hour days). When in the field (on cruises), the workload will require more than 40 hours per week and often more than eight hours per day. As a salaried employee, the biologist/lab technician’s work days in the immediate pay period following a cruise may be adjusted to approximate a regular work schedule. |
