*ANALYST *

*GREENERIDGE SCIENCES, INC.*

*_Brief job description_*_ _

Greeneridge Sciences, Inc. places acoustic recorders on floor of the 
Beaufort Sea, Alaska to record the calls made by bowhead whales during 
their fall migration. Once the data is downloaded from these recorders, 
Greeneridge hires a temporary staff to perform "manual data analysis." 
 Analysts look at screens of spectrograms and determine which sounds are 
probably from bowhead whales, then process those sounds to determine the 
location of the sound source, if possible.  This season's work will 
probably span November and December 2008 with some overshoot into 
January 2009.  Greeneridge plans to hire up to 15 Analysts.


*_Hours_*_ _

The hours are very flexible, and at the discretion of each Analyst.  The 
work must be done at the Greeneridge lab, off of Hollister Avenue, near 
Fairview, in Goleta.  During the analysis effort, the lab will be open 
from early morning until late in the evening, including weekends.  
Analysts are free to set their own schedules during open office hours, 
and will probably be asked to work a minimum of 20 hours per week. 
 Attendance at a weekly meeting at a certain set time will also be 
required. 


*_Pay_*_ _

Greeneridge hires Analyst Trainees/Analysts temporarily.  The pay is 
hourly -- rates are still being determined but should fall within the 
$15.00/hour range.  Analysts are paid once every two weeks, according to 
the number of hours worked.  Potential Analysts are required to attend 
one unpaid orientation session to evaluate their interest in the job.


*_Requirements_*_ _

Greeneridge is contacting the *Channel Islands Naturalist Corps 
Volunteer Program* because of the interdisciplinary nature of your 
environmental background and passion for protecting the marine 
environment. This work is on the cutting edge of current research in 
underwater acoustics and marine mammals so would be appropriate for CINC 
volunteers interested in either topic, or their interaction.  The 
project also deals with issues relating to mitigation of impacts of work 
on Alaska's North Slope and in the Beaufort Sea, so is of interest from 
an environmental management perspective.  Greeneridge would prefer to 
hire individuals who are able to work independently, have a strong work 
ethic, and have an interest in the topic.
