The International Arctic Research Center (IARC) at the University of
Alaska Fairbanks is seeking a qualified marine technician for its NABOS
observational program. IARC scientists are engaged in high-latitude
oceanographic fieldwork. Oceanographic moorings equipped with the latest
technologies are the primary measurement platform used by the program.
Candidates with a strong interest in working with oceanographic
equipment and participating in Arctic fieldwork are encouraged to apply.
The position will require spending one to two months per year at sea.

interested in a full-time technician, but more flexible working
conditions are also possible.

Candidates must meet the following qualifications:
- BS degree or equivalent experience;
- Computer competency;
- Fieldwork experience;
- Knowledge of statistical methods;
- Data collection, processing and analysis;
- Experience with planning, building, deploying, and maintaining
oceanographic instruments and mooring equipment;
- Experience with logistical support, the marine environment, and
knowledge of high-latitude regions;
- Excellent organizational, planning, and prioritizing skills;
- Ability to adapt and learn quickly;
- Ability to communicate well in oral and written form;

environment; and
