IMET Undergraduate Summer Internship
Marine and environmental sciences are crucial for the future of human health, food, water and energy. This nine-week internship (June 7th - Aug 6th) connects you to a hands-on research project. Interns will receive an orientation to working in a lab, seminars on molecular techniques relevant to fisheries, aquaculture, energy production, and environmental research. Group activities will promote science communication, professional and life skill development.
This program is open to students from backgrounds that are underrepresented in marine and environmental sciences. IMET has over twenty years of experience mentoring a diverse cohort of undergraduate interns in this program. We are proud of our over 200 internship alumni, many of whom have gone on to earn an M.S. or Ph.D.
This internship has the potential to be in-person at IMET's laboratories at the inner harbor this summer. However, if COVID-19 restrictions prevent IMET from hosting in-person interns in the summer of 2021, they will offer a virtual internship focused on data processing, analysis, and communication. It will be communicated by May 1st, 2021 if the internship will be virtual or in person.
Internship Benefits:
The internship includes a wage of $13.50 per hour for a 40-hour week. If the program is in-person you will receive accommodations at UMBC and transit passes.
Eligibility:
The internship is open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents enrolled
as undergraduates in fields related to biological sciences with a GPA of 3.0 or above.
