Marine Science Education Internship

Discovery Hall Programs (DHP) offers two paid summer internship positions for an undergraduate (junior, senior) or recent graduate interested in marine science and environmental education. DHP is particularly interested in applications from groups currently underrepresented in these fields.

Interns work with DHP’s education personnel in our various summer programs including summer camps for K-12 students, a residential class in marine science for high school students, workshops for educators, and public outreach events.

Interns assist in all aspects of logistics, preparation, and teaching during our 9 week summer program. Interns must commit for the duration of the program.  These internships are a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the field of environmental, STEM, outdoor or science education and learn about the Gulf of Mexico ecosystems.

Successful candidates should be interested in marine science or environmental education and have completed a minimum of one year of biology or education classes. Interns live in the Sea Lab dorms and are expected to work some nights and weekends. Interns should enjoy working with people, including children, be comfortable in the water, have a valid US driver’s license, and be capable of handling some strenuous physical activity, as well as Alabama’s summer heat and humidity.
