This position assists in research within The Reef Lab at Tulane University.

Potential drone-related work could include preparing permit applications, planning unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flights, and organizing travel. Applicants do not necessarily need to be well-aligned with both the database management and drone aspects of the position, but rather ability and willingness to learn are crucial.
