One more piece of advice though: don’t hinge your career on deep-sea biology alone. MOST successful deep-sea biologists have questions that translate across systems. And, with the exception of a few R1 or private institutions, you will almost never see a University or College wanting to hire a deep-sea biologist. Most Universities and especially small colleges want someone who will work locally with students. I’m not saying you can’t be a deep-sea biologist at almost any University or College, but you better be ready to sell them on the fact that you are something else (an evolutionary biologist, a community ecologist, a biogeochemist, etc), too.

Hello my name is Winer and I recently started reading DSN. I really appreciate this post it is really helpful. I am, and after reading this post STILL interested in deep- sea biology. I got my major on Biology last year and now I started to looking foward to my graduate studies, I am interested mainly in evolutionary biology but also on molecular biology. I really find amazing how the species of the deep sea adapts to this extreme enviroments.

For now I am looking for a masters program where I can gain more experience in research and give me the skills to do a PhD, hopefully, related to deep sea biology. Unfortunately in my country there is not a program related to the topic where I can gain experience, yet and I would like to know more about the research that has been done by my country. I wondered where it would be more advisable to start, you know someone who is currently working near Ecuador, related to deep sea topics?

I really love the blog, keep up the good work and thank you very much!

Deep sea science has intrested me for years because of Monteray bay aquarium. Are the criteria listed here on the list changed over the last 3 years?

So much so that I’ve bookmarked it and plan to follow it as such. I still intend to get into the field of deep sea, and reading those books mentioned does seems like a good time to me, nerd that I am.
