Hello Everyone - La MICA Biological Station, located in El Copé, Coclé province, Republic of Panama, announces its RIO (Research and Inventory Opportunities) Program!
The RIO program is geared towards undergraduates and recent graduates looking to gain research and practical experience in the tropical forest as an internship or otherwise. Each participant visits La MICA Biological Station to conduct a project at the Station, in a local community, or in Omar Torrijos National Park. Participants are encouraged to assist at the Station and interact with the local people. Projects are not restricted to biology, but also may focus on local culture or history, geography, traditional medicine, immersion Spanish, art, etc. RIO Program participants cover their own airfare and pay a minimal charge each week for this amazing experience. We are excited to work with university internship programs to ensure that students can receive credit as desired. Positions are available year round. We currently are accepting applications. Please email us at [email protected] (with a subject line “RIO Program”) for an information packet and application. We look forward to your visit! Julie M.
