Coastal Conservation Research Program Internships

LUING FAMILY INTERNSHIP PROGRAM Research and Conservation Join us this summer for a 10-week internship program to explore coastal salt marshes, barrier islands, and Delaware Bay beaches while gaining hands-on experience immersed in field studies of diamondback terrapins, coastal birds, horseshoe crabs, and wetland and coastal ecosystem dynamics. Six intern positions are available for 2022. The Coastal Conservation Research Program (CCRP) offers summer internships for undergraduate students pursuing careers in conservation biology, ecology, and coastal ecosystem sciences. Research interns, supported in part by the Barbara and Jim Summers Intern Endowment Fund, participate in a variety of field studies in southern New Jersey and contribute to community-engagement conservation projects. The CCRP internship promotes professional development with opportunities for research interns to conduct an independent research project and present results of their studies at our Annual Intern Symposium. Intern schedules are filled with outdoor fieldwork, data collection and analysis, and hands-on learning experiences over a 10-week period from late-May through early August. Applicants must be available for the full duration of the program. Housing is not provided; two years of college and reliable transportation are required. Application Process: To be considered, please submit by email an application package with these five documents: completed application form, resume, transcript, statement of interest, and reference letter.
