    Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is currently searching for an Intern / Engineering Assistant I/II to join the Ship Operations Department. This is a temporary, casual, non-exempt position, and is not eligible for benefits.

     

    Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is the world's leading, independent non-profit organization dedicated to ocean research, exploration, and education. Our scientists, engineers and operational practitioners push the boundaries of knowledge about the ocean to reveal its impacts on our planet and our lives.

     

    WHOI operates a fleet of research vessels, a key operational capability.  Research vessels are complex platforms, requiring specialized skills for their operations, maintenance, refit, upgrade and overall support of seagoing science.  Research vessels routinely deploy and recover delicate scientific sensors, oceanographic mooring systems and submersibles; tow nets for biologic sampling; take sediment cores, bottom samples and water samples; map the seafloor and subbottom stratigraphy with a range of sophisticated sonar systems; continuously collect meteorologic and oceanographic metadata and provide a range of onboard sample and data processing resources including wet, dry and computer laboratories.  To accomplish these tasks, research vessels have highly specialized equipment and capabilities in addition to traditional ship’s systems such as dynamic positioning, hull-mounted transducer arrays, motion reference units, precision clocks, winches, a-frames, ultra-low temperature freezers, facilities for handling radioisotopes, telepresence systems, and many others.
