Internship program
|
Our interns are primarily drawn from Masters of Professional Science students at the University of Miami, where our Director Catherine teaches Marine Conservation Biology. Over the course of two or more semesters, our interns learn to perform field research, and complete their MPS projects with us.
Interested in an internship? Please complete the attached application form below and email it, along with your CV or resume to our intern coordinator Jake Jerome (jake@getintothefield.com). We consider applications from Miami-based students in fall and spring! We will not be accepting any interns for the Fall 2022 semester. The next deadline for applications is March 24, 2023.

Previous Intern Projects
|
Marissa: Her project used a BRUV (Baited Remote Underwater Video) to study fish and shark community composition in Northern Biscayne Bay. She studied how her footage and data could be used to create interactive learning tools for the public, and how those tools can impact people's knowledge about and attitudes towards important marine ecosystems in South Florida like seagrass beds and mangroves.

|
Kylie: Her project focused on studying the feeding ecology of yellow stingrays (Urobatis jamaicensis). She investigated the dietary preferences and feeding habitats of yellow rays, which are a small, understudied batoid found in seagrass and sand flats in South Florida.

|
Dylann: works in Everglades National Park and is an expert environmental interpreter. She is working with us on a project exploring the creation of new policies around recreational fishing in South Florida.
|
|
Katherine: Her project focused on the stress response of juvenile nurse sharks to recreational angling. She also explored the efficacy of different field-based physiological measures as compared with lab-based techniques.
