Dear Marmam,

We are looking for two experienced cetacean acousticians to be part of our EU 
BEST research project cruise to South Georgia and Shag Rocks, departing from 
Stanley (Falkland Islands) on 22 January 2018 for four weeks. The work will be 
focused on real-time detection, localisation and tracking of southern right 
whales using DiFAR sonobuoys. The research platform will be RV Song of the 
Whale (http://www.marineconservationresearch.co.uk/rv-song-of-the-whale/).

Applications will only be considered from acousticians who are experienced in 
the setting up, deployment, data acquisition and analysis of acoustic data 
derived from DIFAR sonobuoys using PAMGuard, in order to locate and track 
baleen whales. Addtionally, more general cetacean field survey experience is 
required, particularly from sailing vessels.  Experience of troubleshooting 
acoustic hardware and software in the field is also necessary. Data 
acquisition, analysis and whale tracking will be conducted 24/7 in real-time to 
maximize sighting opportunities. Sailing experience, and experience of right 
whale acoustics would be an advantage. If you wish to apply, please respond 
with a quote for costs and CV demonstrating suitability for the requirements 
set out above.

Application deadline Monday 17th July 2017.

Thanks and best wishes,

Jen
