Woods Hole Science Aquarium: COLLEGE INTERNS

In recent years one or more college students have had paying summer internships in the aquarium, funded through the Northeast Fisheries Science Center’s Bradford E. Brown Student Intern Program.

Some Brown interns have worked in the aquarium as assistant aquarists, caring for the animals and leading public collecting walks. Other Brown interns have served as program assistants, helping to run the high school intern program.

Brown internships are competitive positions that provide undergraduates with summer employment opportunities at NEFSC laboratories in Woods Hole, MA; Milford, CT; Highlands, NJ and Orono, ME.

Brown internship opportunities are posted in mid-winter and applications are usually due in February. Fellowships are awarded in March or April, depending on availability of funds.

Undergraduates interested in working the aquarium should look through the “Summer Employment Opportunities List” on the Bradford Brown Internship page.
