We have research internships covering all times of the year. Interns are responsible for collecting, organizing, transcribing, and analyzing data dealing with the behavior and identification of North Atlantic cetaceans. In addition, interns will often be involved in public education aboard commercial whale watching vessels, along with intensive study aboard our 27' research vessel, Silver II . Fall and spring interns will also be more heavily involved in data processing and analysis. As a result, we are looking for students with a blend of enthusiasm, scientific skills, and communication abilities.
Interns live together in a common apartment and share cooking and cleaning duties.
Rooms may be shared with one other person. A living arrangement such as this is conducive to open discussion and interaction between peers, and home life is often a continuation of the day in the field. Therefore, it is essential that candidates can combine these two areas. In the past, applicants for these positions have been primarily undergraduate college students. Although we do not limit these positions to that group, the internship is tailored to their needs, and they are given priority.
