Job Positions

Our current paid positions are seasonal full-time positions. We have openings for spring, summer and fall. If you are interested in one of these positions, follow us on LinkedIn or check Indeed where our listings are posted.

The focus of this "aquaristship" is on running an aquarium. During these 12 weeks, aquarists spend their time learning to care for all aspects of the aquarium from husbandry and exhibit maintenance to life support systems. They also get to regularly improve upon their diving and boating skills by helping with different animal accession methods.

 

During a typical day, aquarists spend the first half of the day performing aquarium husbandry and life support system checks and maintenance. The second half of the day is spent together collection diving, studying up on species ID and other related topics, or working on other aquarium projects as needed.

​

This is a seasonal, full-time position offered every spring and fall. We are currently hiring 1 aquarist for each season.
