Other opportunities

Sea Experience in Shipboard Oceanography. For aspiring oceanographers, experience aboard a working research vessel offers a foundation in the more practical aspects of conducting science at sea. The Sea Experience in Shipboard Oceanography (SESO) program at ASU BIOS (Arizona State University-Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences) on the island of Bermuda allows graduate students and early career scientists who are actively engaged in ocean sciences to fully participate in a 5-day Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) research cruise aboard the R/V Atlantic Explorer, providing unparalleled insight into the logistics required to plan and execute a research cruise. Enquiries from applicants with limited access to oceanographic research cruises are particularly encouraged. Applications should be submitted at least 4 months prior to the potential cruise date.
