Job Openings
Saltwater, Inc. is always looking for motivated, energetic individuals to enhance our team. We would welcome the opportunity to hear from you. Check out the job requirements listed below, and then tell us about yourself.Observer positions are seasonal and potentially short term. We are reluctant to encourage applicants from outside North America. The unpredictable duration of the fisheries could cause contracts to be terminated early, resulting in significant expense to individuals who travel great distances to Alaska.
Job Requirements
Observers must have 1) a college level course in math and statistics. 2) a B. S. in the biological field sciences, such as fisheries, natural resources, or wildlife biology. 3) 30 academic credits in biology. 4) Experience with a computer and 5) A college level course with use of dichotomous (taxonomic) keys.How do I apply?
If you wish to be considered for an observer position, please fill out an application form and return it with your résumé (you may contact Saltwater, Inc. for one at the address below). Please list your relevant college courses on the application and provide a college transcript (it need not be an official transcript). Please make sure your transcripts show that your degree is conferred or enclose a copy of your diploma. We will review your application materials, and will write or call you if your educational background meets the requirements.The benefits of observing are many. It is an adventure, a chance to
see parts of Alaska you would never otherwise see, and an opportunity to
learn about one of the most valued fisheries in the United States. Observing
is also an educational experience. While at sea, observers commonly sight
birds, whales, and other marine mammals, and they learn to identify many
species of crab, scallops and fish common to the North Pacific. What you
learn can be a very valuable asset on your résumé. Saltwater
Inc. works hard to promote the value of observers' experience with both
government agencies and private industry.
