Hi Bryce:

Many scientists who work with whales simply call themselves whale researchers. They might also call themselves marine biologists, or perhaps even cetologists (whales are know to scientists as cetaceans). I know of at least one whale researcher who calls herself an oceanographer, but they're comparatively rare.

Hope that helps!
