Hello,
My name is Callie Austin and I am the internship coordinator for
the Stranding department at the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies, located in
Gulfport Mississippi. The IMMS Stranding Department is currently accepting
applications for our Summer internship program. This program is designed as a
way for students interested in a career in marine science to gain valuable
hands-on stranding experience. As an intern, you will be involved with all
aspects if marine mammal and sea turtle rehabilitation and stranding response,
as well as veterinary care if the opportunity arises. IMMS Stranding interns
will may also have the opportunity to participate in sea turtle nesting surveys
starting in late April. These surveys run throughout the summer months. Interns
will also participate in other operations at IMMS including shadowing staff in
our research, aquarist, reptile care, and animal care departments. Our goal is
to give interns a well-rounded experience in a variety of areas while providing
expert training and experience in marine animal stranding and rehabilitation.
Interested applicants will find full details and how to apply on our website
https://imms.org/internship/ (Deadline is March 1st). Please feel free to
distribute this information as you see fit and don’t hesitate to reach out with
any questions.
Thanks,
Callie Austin
