A Seagoing job refers to any occupation that involves working aboard a vessel, such as cargo ships, tankers, cruise ships, or fishing boats. These roles can include deck officers, engineers, crew members, and hospitality staff. Seagoing jobs often require specialized training, certifications, and the ability to work long periods away from home. They offer opportunities for travel, career advancement, and hands-on experience in maritime operations.
Seagoing personnel often work in shifts, commonly known as 'watches,' which may include nights, weekends, and holidays, as vessels operate around the clock. Living conditions involve shared cabins and communal spaces, requiring adaptability to close quarters and limited privacy for extended periods. Crew members regularly rotate between periods at sea and onshore leave, with schedules varying by employer and type of vessel. Teamwork and clear communication are essential for maintaining morale and safety while at sea, and many seafarers find the experience rewarding for its camaraderie and opportunities for travel.
To thrive in a seagoing role, you need strong seamanship skills, physical fitness, and a valid maritime certification such as STCW, along with experience operating and maintaining vessel equipment. Familiarity with navigational tools, communication systems, and safety protocols is commonly required in the maritime industry. Flexibility, problem-solving, and effective teamwork are valuable soft skills that help address the demands of extended time at sea. These combined competencies ensure vessel safety, operational reliability, and smooth onboard collaboration during challenging voyages.

The Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) of the University of Miami (UM) is currently seeking applicants for a full time Assistant Scientist position. The successful candidate will investigate spatial and temporal changes in the physical and biogeochemical properties of the ocean, primarily focusing on water mass analysis of in-situ data collected during repeat trans-ocean hydrographic sections. The position will involve close collaborations with scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML).
We are searching an experienced and productive researcher whose primary responsibilities will include:
Leading seagoing activities in support of in situ oceanographic data collection along sustained trans-ocean hydrographic sections and overseeing all associated data reduction efforts as well as the required logistical arrangements for such fieldwork.
Analyzing the spatiotemporal variability of ocean circulation and water mass
characteristics from the sustained hydrographic sections and assessing the subsequent effects on weather, climate, and ecological systems.
Developing software for the analysis of the acquired oceanographic data and presenting the resulting findings through peer-reviewed publications and presentations at scientific meetings.
Seeking research funding via grant writing in partnership with scientists at AOML and other institutions.
Qualified candidates must possess a Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography or closely related discipline, a minimum of 1 year of relevant postdoctoral research experience, and a proven record of scholarly publication in peer-reviewed journals. Direct experience in collecting oceanographic data through shipboard measurements, including Conductivity, Temperature,
Depth, Dissolved Oxygen / Lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (CTDO2/LADCP) casts, is required. Preference will be given to applicants with extensive experience participating in and leading such types of field operations. The incumbent is expected to perform data collection (at
sea), processing, and analysis, yielding oceanographic datasets of a quality suitable for publication. Strong communications skills and experience in presenting findings to both academic audiences and the public are also highly desirable.
