Target Audience: Undergraduate Student


Institution: Dauphin Island Sea Lab

Institutional Web Link: https://www.disl.edu

Description of Internship or Research Opportunity: Discovery Hall Programs (DHP) offers two paid summer internship positions for an undergraduate (junior, senior) or recent graduate interested in marine science and environmental education. DHP is particularly interested in applications from groups currently underrepresented in these fields.

Interns work with DHP’s education personnel in our various summer programs including summer camps for K-12 students, a residential class in marine science for high school students, workshops for educators, and public outreach events.

Interns assist in all aspects of logistics, preparation, and teaching during our 9 week summer program. Interns must commit for the duration of the program. These internships are a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the field of environmental education and learn about the Gulf of Mexico’s ecosystems.

The internship includes a $4,000 stipend and a $500 travel allowance as well as full room and board in DISL dorms. A background check and drug testing are requirements for employment. These internships are supported by the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium and the Dauphin Island Sea Lab.
