MBL is a 135-year-old nonprofit research and education institution housed in Woods Hole, MA, with a tech stack heavily weighted toward office productivity and content management (Excel, Word, Drupal, NetSuite for finance/ops). The hiring mix reveals a dual focus: research roles match the core mission (aging, development, biodiversity), while ops and logistics hires point to active infrastructure and supply-chain scaling — supported by pain-point data flagging wastewater treatment innovation, HVAC compliance, and procurement bottlenecks.
The Marine Biological Laboratory conducts fundamental research in developmental biology, genetics, aging, and marine ecosystems while running a residential education program. As a University of Chicago affiliate, MBL serves both the academic research community and public understanding of marine biology and environmental science. The institution operates across research labs, teaching facilities, and support operations in a coastal research campus, managing complex infrastructure (refrigeration, wastewater, storm resilience) alongside scientific discovery and media outreach efforts.
Office tools (Excel, Word, Google Docs, Microsoft Office), enterprise resource planning (Oracle NetSuite), content management (Drupal), design/publishing (Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop), and social platforms (Meta, X, Instagram, Bluesky, LinkedIn).
Core research areas include biology of aging, developmental biology, life history, and maternal effects. Operational projects span wastewater treatment innovation, facility winterization, storm preparation, science media strategy, and journalism education programs.
