Oceanographers apply science and mathematics to study the physical and biological aspects of the oceans to understand how they work, predict changes that may happen, and work out the most sustainable ways to use their resources. Successful oceanographers should have a broad knowledge of a variety of oceanographic fields, and experience with specialized equipment and techniques. Ideal candidates will display a flexible approach to work hours, outstanding analytical skills, and some experience with computational and mathematical modelling. Oceanographer Responsibilities: • Collecting and analyzing data from the ocean, ocean floor, and atmosphere. • Examining life forms and matter in seawater. • Investigating hypotheses using statistical models. • Attending conferences. • Going on research expeditions. • Submitting research proposals to obtain grants. • Writing reports and research papers. Oceanography Requirements: • Masters degree in physics, chemistry, math, or biology. • PhD in related fields preferable. • Experience in marine science or oceanography research. • Excellent verbal and written communication skills. • Time spent in marine environments.
