No previous marine-science experience is required, just a healthy sense of curiosity and a passion for understanding and protecting the ocean.
CMIL is an urban marine research facility owned by San Diego State University where students and scientists perform research that helps them better understand the environmental problems affecting the Southern California coastline and how to address them.
Interns work one day a week during the 9-week program, which runs from June 6 until August 5. They participate in research on a wide range of topics including kelp forest food webs, lobster population dynamics, and seagrass communities. Through the program, interns will:
- Work one-on-one with a CMIL graduate student
- Learn how research works in a marine laboratory
- Attend professional development sessions
- Receive compensation for meals and transportation
Applications are due April 4.
