Description:
The Shark Lab is seeking highly motivated, hard-working people with a desire to gain experience in marine science and remote field station living. Interns are integrated into all aspects of the Station’s workload – alongside field activities, they are expected to assist with fixing equipment, cleaning the facilities, and cooking family-style meals. Not only do interns gain practical skills and knowledge throughout their time, but they are given the opportunity to obtain connections in a diversity of disciplines, including photography and videography, research, outreach and more. We believe that interning at the field station is a life-changing experience that not only develops scientists but also helps to create well-rounded people with a drive and passion to succeed in whatever path they choose to follow.
