Hello, Audubon Aquarium Rescue is accepting applications for an Assistant Stranding Coordinator based in Lake Charles, Louisiana. General job summary: Under the general direction of the Stranding and Rehab Coordinator, the Assistant Stranding Coordinator will assist the Stranding and Rehab Coordinator with the response, rescue, and release activities for Audubon Aquarium Rescue. This position is based in Lake Charles, Louisiana and will primarily operate in Southwest Louisiana. The Assistant Stranding Coordinator will be responsible for conducting beach surveys for active stranding surveillance along Southwest Louisiana beaches, lab and field necropsies of marine mammals, completing and uploading all essential paperwork associated with stranding and necropsies into national databases, supervising interns from McNeese State University, coordinating the AAR volunteer corps when needed, representing Audubon at various outreach and education opportunities around the Gulf Coast, as well as help cover calls for the AAR 24 hour stranding hotline. The Assistant Stranding Coordinator candidate should be aware that historically the incidences of live marine mammal and sea turtle rescues and transport to rehab occur infrequently. Live animal rescues and rehabilitation events are rare and unpredictable and should be considered as likely to be a minor, but important, part of the position. This position is funded through 2027 with the possibility of extension (funding dependent) with full benefits that will work out of McNeese State University in Lake Charles, LA. This position encompasses a variety of tasks, both in the field and in an office setting. Due to the unpredictable nature of stranding response work, travel (mostly in state), weekends, holidays, and overnight shifts may be required.
