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 some of them go on to complete their own research 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 October and January! The next deadline for applications is January 20, 2021. ![]()

Marissa is currently working on her MPS degree. Her project is using a BRUV (Baited Remote Underwater Video) to study fish and shark community composition in Northern Biscayne Bay. She is studying how her footage and data can 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 is also a MPS student at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami, and she is working with us studying the feeding ecology of yellow stingrays (Urobatis jamaicensis). Her project is interested in the dietary preferences and feeding habitats of yellow rays, which are a small, understudied batoid found in seagrass and sand flats in South Florida.
