Post Body

I'm an Electrical Engineering graduate. Worked in a small private company designing electronic systems (not for commercial/industrial purpose; just models). Have no prior experience in anything ocean related or designing instruments for actual research.

How do I prepare myself for this research job at an oceanography lab? I don't want anybody to think I'm stupid just because I'm not acquainted with serious ocean research/technologies/research methodology/softwares.

Any tips/advice/resources are welcome. Also, point me in the right direction if this is not the right subreddit to ask this question.

Thank you.
