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

- Computer competency;
- Fieldwork experience;
- Knowledge of statistical methods;
- Data collection, processing and analysis;

- Excellent organizational, planning, and prioritizing skills;
- Ability to adapt and learn quickly;
- Ability to communicate well in oral and written form;
