About the Turbulence REMUSResearch Technician in Marine Turbulence laboratory
The Marine Turbulence Laboratory in the School for Marine Science and Technology (SMAST) has an immediate opening for a Research Technician to support new marine engineering projects involving Autonomous Underwater Vehicles. For details on existing projects see http://www.smast.umassd.edu/Turbulence/. The successful applicant will be involved in both hardware as well as software development to extend the capability of the present generation of Autonomous underwater vehicles. Responsibilities will include at sea deployments of AUVs and pre and post deployment preparations. In addition the successful applicant will provide pre and post data preparation, reduction , and analysis of AUV borne sensors. Knowledge of Matlab and other computer languages is very desirable. An academic background with at least a BS in Ocean Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and or Physics is required. Preference is given to MS in these respective fields, particle those which involve skills relative to underwater vehicles and marine sensors place on such vehicles. Engineering and at sea experience are also desirable.

Graduate
Research Assistantship Available both MS and Phd
The Marine Turbulence
Laboratory within the School
for Marine Science and Technology at the University
of Massachusetts Dartmouth invites applications from qualified students
for both MS and Ph.D. programs. Research Assistantships are available
for research projects in the following areas: (1) ocean turbulence; (2)
development of novel techniques for the measurement of ocean turbulence;
(3) understanding the response characteristics of the Autonomous Underwater
platform T- REMUS. For a description of T-REMUS see: About
T-Remus.
A bachelor's degree in physics and/or mechanical/ ocean/ electrical engineering
is desirable. Research would involve both analytical as well as field
work. Opportunity is also available to work on joint projects with the
Naval Undersea Warfare Center.
Applications to our graduate program are available from our website: http://www.umassmarine.net/admissions/.
