Aquaponics Research Intern

The Aquaponics Association seeks capable, motivated individuals for remote internships to advance our Mission of connecting aquaponic growers and pushing aquaponics forward!

Aquaponics is growing, and the Aquaponics Association is growing along with it. 2020 is already a big year for the Association as many new initiatives, strategic partnerships, and new members are emerging. 

The Aquaponics Research Intern will work with the board to keep the Association current on the most advanced aquaponics science around the world. This individual will have a strong desire to translate science to application for the aquaponics community. Candidates can work to build the foundation of an aquaponics research community or journal.  The candidate will identify common issues and trends in aquaponics. This individual would assist us with the following roles and responsibilities:

• Stay abreast of the latest aquaponics research, disseminate important research to members
• Assist members in applying the newest research to their growing
• Summarize the latest news about cutting-edge aquaponics projects
• Understand and explain aquaponics concepts in water chemistry, fish health, nutrient cycling, filtration, etc.
• Research and plan for an aquaponics research publication
• Communicate with researchers and growers to identify research needs

The Aquaponics Association is a non-profit entity. All positions are unpaid. All positions will be conducted remotely. All interested applicants are asked to commit to 10 hours per week, for a minimum of 14 weeks. The Association will readily work with students to attain school credit for activity, where applicable. Successful completion of an Internship will earn the individual three years of free Association Membership. It will also earn the team member a free ticket to the next Association Annual Conference.
