A few Examples of where to look for Careers in Marine Geoscience:
I’ve been asked by students – “How’s the Job Outlook for Geophysicists these days?” “What Kind of Jobs can I get with my geophysics or marine geology degree?” “Are there Jobs outside of Academia, or in Academia other than being a professor?”
I’m not an expert in all non-academic jobs, but here I’ll list a few examples. Good place to keep your eyes out for new position postings.
