IMET Summer Internship

Marine and environmental sciences are crucial for the future of human health, food, water and energy. The nine-week internship connects you to a hands-on research project. Interns will receive an orientation to working in a lab, seminars on molecular techniques relevant to fisheries, aquaculture, energy production and environmental research. Group activities will promote science communication, professional and life skill development.

IMET’s work includes the use of aquaculture and genomics to foster conservation and creation of marine resources, including marine bioenergy; environmental sensor development; environmental remediation; developmental biology; marine biomedicine; molecular and cellular systems and sustainable urban ports and ecosystems.

Interns will receive an orientation to working in labs focused on molecular techniques relevant to fisheries, aquaculture, energy production and environmental research.

IMET atUMCES is committed to creating opportunities for a diverse body of undergraduates to enable and encourage students from underserved communities to continue on to higher degrees and careers in marine and environmental science.

For 25 years, the IMET Summer Internship Program has encouraged students from underserved communities with an interest in marine and environmental sciences to apply. Over this time, IMET has mentored a diverse cohort of undergraduate interns, building a community of more than 200 alumni—many of whom have gone on to earn M.S. and Ph.D. degrees.

Interns will receive an orientation to working in labs focused on molecular techniques relevant to fisheries, aquaculture, energy production and environmental research.

This full-time internship includes an hourly wage of $16/hr for the nine-week period.

IMET intends to provideno cost summer housing for students from outside the Baltimoremetropolitan area.

MTA passes will be provided for local travel in Baltimore.

This internship is most applicable to
undergraduate students
studying biology, marine science, environmental science and other related degrees. (Preference will be given to rising juniors and seniors.)

Students from
educational backgrounds with limited access to research opportunities
and
students from underserved communities with an interest in marine science and environmental science
are welcomed and encouraged to apply. A resume, university transcripts and a personal statement of interest are required.
