The Research Vessel Atlantis
works out of Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution, whose
personnel and vessels located the
RMS Titanic. WHOI regularly seeks
candidates for its shipboard
positions. Click the link below

website and learn more about
career opportunities at the research
institution.
Wood’s Hole is a private, not-for-profit entity. It may be best known
for the support role of its vessels in the discovery of the RMS Titanic
by the team led by Dr. Robert Ballard. Woods Hole offers jobs that
you'll see arise on tugboats and other utility vessels. Although there
might not seem to be a connection between the towing and
scientific research communities, there is one... more or less based
on the interchangeability of deck personnel, engine personnel, or
cooks and other support staff between the tugs and research
vessels.

If a chief engineer can't find a job on coastal tug pushing home
heating oil barges… a job on a research vessel collecting ocean
temperature data for oceanographers could fit the bill.

It's needless to say that there are more tugboats, pushboats, OSVs
(offshore supply vessels) out there than research vessels. But if you
don’t find what you’re looking for aboard tugboats, you wouldn't be
the first person to explore the career opportunities with scientific
research vessels. Another employer in this area is the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, otherwise known as
NOAA. NOAA has a large fleet with many different sizes of vessels
operating in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Click

Most people know that
the team from Woods
Hole Oceanographic
Institution found the
RMS Titanic. What they
might not know is that
the mission started off
as a search for the
remains of the nuclear
submarine Scorpion.
