CAAE programs also track water quality in selected estuaries and marine coastal areas.
The Research Technician will perform a full range of water quality analysis in the CAAE’s state-certified laboratory using sophisticated instrumentation and analytical techniques in compliance with established protocols and quality assurance/quality control procedures. This staff person will conduct and/or assist in specialized research procedures and tests; perform routine maintenance on laboratory equipment; and order supplies as needed. This staff person will also assist in the center’s education outreach programs, hosting groups visiting the lab for tours and participating in various laboratory and field activities.
