Counter Point, in the Coal Oil Point Reserve, Goleta, California, USA, adjacent 
to the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB).  

This position is open to citizens of the United States of America and those 
authorized to work in the United States with an appropriate visa in hand.

The 2019 survey begins Wednesday, February 13 and continues every day through

primary goal of research is to estimate the number of gray whales and gray 
whale calves migrating northbound through our corridor and to share our data to 
complement similar sampling-studies along the California coast. A secondary 
goal is to document the variety and quantity of other marine mammals in the 
ocean area around our site, which is now a Marine Protected Area.

Goals of education are to teach the process of scientific research to Counters 
and to give them the opportunity to conduct a meaningful study, to experience 
marine mammals in their natural environment, and to share this process and our 
enthusiasm with publics through direct interchange, outreach, and various 
media. 

RAs will be trained by the Project Coordinator and, in-turn, share the

affect them, both natural and anthropogenic

  > Developing responsibility and a working relationship within a team

Because of the training required, applicants must be willing to commit 
full-time to the project for the time period involved, approximately 100 days. 

This will entail up to 9 hours of work a day for at least 5 days a week. (With 
training, RA’s are required to work everyday the first two weeks.) The Count is 
6 days per week (no counting Tuesdays). The more time you can put in, the more

[MARMAM] MARMAM] Seeking Research Assistants for Gray Whales Count, Santa Barbara, California

2014-12-29 Thread Michael H Smith
 is characterized by pulses rather 
 than a steady stream; and weather is the unknown factor: wind, rain, and fog 
 can shut us down. 

 We strive for a perfection that cannot be attained. We are forgiving and 
 learn from experience. 

This is a volunteer position. The selected RAs will be responsible for their 
own transportation to and from Santa Barbara/Goleta, California and daily to 
the survey site. Recognizing that living costs are high in this area, Gray 
Whales Count will award a $500 stipend to assist each RA with expenses upon 
successful completion of the RA position. RAs will be responsible for all for 
living expenses while volunteering for Gray Whales Count. 

To apply: Please send cover letter/résumé to Project Coordinator, Michael Smith
