The NOAA Coastal Services Center is currently seeking qualified applicants for its student internship program. The Center has a small but progressive program where students enrolled in diverse disciplines such as environmental science, geography, marine science, ecology, engineering, mathematics, computer science, and marine policy have the opportunity to increase their educational and professional experiences while in school. Most of the students employed by the Center in the past have successfully acquired positions in coastal resource management agencies or have pursued advanced education in their field. This must be verified in writing by the student's educational institution at the start of each semester or quarter.
Pay is dependent upon education and work experience.
As students progress in their studies, they may be eligible for promotions based on work performance, grade point average, and credits earned. Work schedules generally are flexible and can be designed to accommodate the academic needs of the student and the work-related needs of the Coastal Services Center. In certain cases, students may work full-time provided that it does not interfere with their academic studies. Students earn sick and annual leave, but are not eligible for retirement coverage or life insurance. Students are eligible for health insurance after one year of continuous service but are required to pay the full premium.
