You have a 0% chance to land a job like you are talking about.

I went to a school with marine and maritime degrees only and the marine biology and ocean program students had an extremely rough time landing jobs like you are talking about and they have 4 year degrees and masters degrees in the field with experience. Less than 5% get the jobs like you are talking about. They are very coveted.

So yea you have a 0% chance unless you know the owner or captain of a research vessel and they just let you come deck on their boat. Even then, they might tell you to go deck on a fishing boat or something else before going with them.
