[MARMAM] Marine Mammal Research Internship

[Victoria Howard]

*Fall 2015 Marine Mammal Research Internship*

The IMMS Research Internship Program is designed as a way for students
interested in a career in marine science to gain valuable research
experience in a real-world setting. Interns will participate with multiple
projects involving bottlenose dolphins, sea turtles and diamondback
terrapins. As an intern, you will be trained in all aspects of dolphin
photo-id research, sea turtle satellite tracking, and other current
research projects at IMMS. Interns will also participate in other
operations at IMMS including stranding response, education, and animal
care. Our goal is to give Interns a well-rounded experience in a variety of
areas while providing expert training and experience in marine science
research.

Interns must:

   - Commit to a minimum of at least 12 weeks. The internship can be
   extended depending on work performance.
   - Be available to work Mon-Fri and must be available for all boat trips.
   Some field days may fall on the weekends.
   - Have strong sense of responsibility, work ethic, attention to detail,
   and ability to admit mistakes.
   - Produce high quality research efforts and exhibit strong interpersonal
   skills.
   - *Principle Duties include*: data entry, searching and cataloging
   journal articles, learning all research protocols, cropping and sorting
   photo-id fin images, learning to use photo-id programs such as Darwin (fin
   matching software), and FinBase (Microsoft Access), boat based field
   research (21’ and 31’ boats), and learn how to use ArcGIS
   - *Secondary Duties involve*: Assisting with animal care staff,
   attending marine mammal necropsies, responding to marine mammal and sea
   turtle strandings, and assisting with educational tours.
   - *Field days: *Interns must be able to spend many hours on the water
   and on shore in sometimes extreme seasonal conditions. Seasonal
   temperatures range from over 100 °F in summer to 30 °F in winter. Field
   days typically exceed eight hours and occur at least two or three times a
   week.

Applicants must be 18 or older and must have a genuine interest in marine
research. Applicants should be actively pursuing a college degree or be a
recent graduate in oceanography, marine science/biology, biology, or a
related field. Previous research experience in any capacity is a plus.
Applicants must be able and willing to fulfill all duties outlined for this
Internship Program. This is an unpaid position and Interns are responsible
for their own housing and transportation. Once accepted, IMMS staff will be
able to assist Interns in suggesting suitable housing options and locations.

*Deadline to Apply for the Fall Session (8/3/15 - 10/23/15 and 9/28/15 -
12/18/15) is June 1, 2015*
