During this residential semester at our station, students complete two field courses, an internship, and work on their senior thesis research. Serving as the Program Director of the J.N.

Salary for this position will range from $53,000-71,000 based on education level and experience. In addition to this salary, when teaching the fall marine biology semester in the Keys, housing near our station will be provided. The successful candidate can also choose to live in the Keys all year, for which the college would also provide a housing allowance.
