10-week paid internship program

Apply to 10-week paid internship program at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Florida Atlantic University (HBOI). This program has existed for over 40 years and is intended for undergraduate students currently enrolled in a full-time program who have completed at least the equivalent of two years of college and are seeking a four-year degree, as well as currently enrolled graduate students and graduating seniors who have been accepted and are pre-registered for a graduate program.

Interns will be assigned to an HBOI-FAU staff member as a mentor in an appropriate area of interest. A project of mutual interest to the intern and mentor will be established and a plan of action developed. Interns are not required to take any prescribed courses. Orientation and presentation workshops will be provided to the interns. At the completion of the program, each intern is expected to submit a comprehensive written report on his or her project and give an oral presentation at the annual summer intern symposium.

The internship provides hands on experience in a research environment in areas that include aquaculture and stock enhancement, Biomedical and biotechnology research, marine ecosystem health, ocean dynamics and modeling, ocean engineering and technology and outreach and informal education. The deadline for applications is March 1st. The program starts on 5/19/25 and ends on 7/25/25 and will take place at the HBOI campus in Fort Pierce, FL.
