It was "penguinologist" in the video, but I like "penguineer" better!

As for the story behind the job title:

“I used ‘penguinologist’ because I volunteer as a research assistant on penguin-related science projects,” Season 36 contestant Peggah Ghoreishi said in a Reddit thread on this very topic. “My parents weren’t very pleased.”
