Internship Opportunities
Internships & Fellowship Opportunities for Eckerd College students
John and Rosemary Galbraith have endowed an internship that supports one rising Junior (current Sophomore) or Senior (current Junior) each summer to participate in a research project at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS), formerly the Bermuda Biological Station for Research (BBSR). The internship pays travel and all expenses for a 10-week stay plus a stipend of about $2000.00. Applicants should submit a brief statement of research interests, transcripts, one letter of recommendation from a faculty member (other than Brooks, Szelistowski or Meylan) and a C.V. to Professor Meylan before 15 February 2008. The final selection is made by BIOS faculty and will depend in part on matching interests of the intern with the interests of faculty at BIOS. Therefore it will be necessary for applicants to familiarize themselves with the research programs of the BIOS faculty by using the BIOS web site <http://www.bios.edu/>. Students in all disciplines are encouraged to apply. This fellowship is open only to Eckerd students but its existence does not exclude Eckerd students from consideration for other BIOS internship programs.

The Egmont Key Alliance is funding three paid internships ($2500 each) for Eckerd students to work on Egmont Key this summer. Work will include monitoring sea turtle nesting activity and the gopher tortoise population and may involve other research and conservation projects on Egmont Key. Interns must be willing to work from 15 May to 31 August, 2008. Housing but not meals, can be provided by the college. The successful applicants will be expected to attend a sea turtle nesting workshop in Charlotte Harbor on 23 April 2008. If you are interested in applying see Dr. Meylan for an application form and return it to him before spring break (by 1 March 2008)
