Paid Job Opportunity: Marine Subtidal Invertebrate Applied Science Project

Students,

Great paid research opportunity that can be done by a combo of telework and work at SAFS. Students must have taken an Invertebrate Zoology course and apply by July 1, 2024. See attached ad or text information below.


Paid Job Opportunity: marine subtidal invertebrate applied science project

In a collaborative project with King County biologists, we are seeking a motivated team of 2-4 students to 1) identify and quantify organisms in photographs from settling plates in deep central Puget Sound water; 2) conduct data analyses; and 3) write a report and possibly a journal article describing the project and results.

Location

Teleworking and SAFS, University of Washington, Seattle. Most of the project can be done remotely as the photos will be uploaded to a website for access.

Project Description

To assess the habitat provided by a wastewater outfall pipe, King County placed settling plates at 4 locations (-100t, -300, & -600 ft depths) next to the outfall and at a -600 ft reference site. The plates remained in place for 2, 5, and 10 years. The goal of this project is to assess whether the pipe provided useful habitat for marine organisms, and if organisms near the outfall were similar at the reference site.

In total, there are 880 photos available for analysis, with a minimum of 320 photos that need to be analyzed. An important element of quality control will come from having multiple people extract numbers from the same plate. The data can be subjected to numerous analyses, with students having the opportunity to pose their own questions (e.g. differences among depths, years, and outfall versus the Continue reading
