Dear MARMAM subscribers, Makah Fisheries Management is seeking a temporary technician for our Marine Mammal Program. The position has funding for 1 year. We are seeking a biologist with skills in field research, data analysis, and manuscript writing. The three primary projects the Technician will assist with are 1) an assessment of anthropogenic and killer whale scarring of Pacific Coast Feeding Group gray whales, 2) developing a methodology to determine if photographed PCFG gray whales are a calf or not, and 3) assessment of what factors most strongly influence observations of gray whale ship strikes and entanglements in US west coast waters from 1983-2021. In addition to these projects, the Technician will assist in marine mammal surveys in the Pacific Ocean and in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and with a tagging study of Chinook salmon. The pay of this position is not great, housing options are limited, and it rains here over 100 inches a year. Yet this position is a great opportunity for someone to build their resume by helping to write manuscripts and reports, expanding their knowledge on field research methods, and learning to work in the unique cultural environment of working for an Indian Tribe.

Application material is available at Employment/Jobs - Makah Tribe <https://makah.com/makah-tribal-info/employment/> on the bottom of the page. Please send your completed application, CV, and cover letter to both katherine.thompson@makah.com and to jonathan.scordino@makah.com. -- Respectfully, Jonathan Scordino Marine Mammal Biologist Makah Fisheries Management (360) 645-3176
