At Shark Tooth Bay, we are true believers in the fact that hands-on-experience is one of the most powerful ways that we can prepare the next generation of scientists for success. We believe that career development should be easily accessible to everyone. As the number one globally recognized shark research science center, Shark Tooth Bay offers numerous internship opportunities that allow students to take part in meaningful and real world scientific research while learning the professional skills that they will need to excel in the future.
The research interns at Shark Tooth Bay are key players in supporting long term scientific research projects. These projects work to drive conservation efforts to the next level and expand the community’s understanding of shark science. When working in close proximity with PHD level researchers and the Shark Tooth Bay Research Institute, interns can gain immersive, hands on experience in ongoing studies while contributing in meaningful ways.
Field data collection, shark behavior monitoring, advanced data entry, and environmental sampling are just a few examples of ways that our interns work to support scientific initiatives. Interns often take on more responsibilities than volunteers, assisting with projects, creating reports, participating in discussions, and contributing to presentations. We at Shark Tooth Bay believe that these experiences allow interns to become full members of the team tackling the field of shark research.
Shark Tooth Bay’s research internship roles are designed mainly for high school upperclassmen, undergraduate students, and graduate students who are thinking about pursuing careers in marine science, biology, environmental studies, or are just interested in partaking in research. Our internship spots are open to motivated and dedicated students form Shark Tooth Bay who continuously show a strong commitment to learning. Most of the internship opportunities offered at the research institute require prerequisites such as related coursework, academic standing, recommendation letters, or field experience.
We truly believe that research internships are key factors for four reasons; developing professional manners, gaining hands-on-scientific experience, building lasting connections, and working towards advancements in marine conservation.
