Internships
Bigelow Laboratory offers internships to high school, undergraduate and graduate students. Internships actively engage students in the Lab through participation in current research projects. Interns develop research, critical thinking and professional skills and are exposed to academic and career options in ocean science through interactions with Senior Research Scientists, science staff and other students.
Each intern is managed by a Senior Research Scientist, who is responsible for instructing, mentoring and supervising the intern. Interns are expected to work with their mentor to develop a final report/project that reflects upon and synthesizes their internship experience at the Lab.
Internship opportunities will be posted on this page as they become available.
Summer Internship
The Twining Lab is looking for an undergraduate researcher to join us for the 2010 summer! The student will be involved in experiments to examine the cycling of iron by microbial communities in the ocean. The student will be trained to grow phytoplankton in the laboratory using sterile and trace-metal clean techniques. Culture growth and condition will be monitored with both microscopy and automated cell counting instrumentation. Housing will be provided near the lab in conjunction with the laboratory’s summer Research Experience for Undergraduates program; a stipend is also available. The internship will last from June 7 to August 13.
For more information, please contact Dr. Ben Twining (btwining@bigelow.org).
