<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#253846">WDC North America (NA), located in Plymouth, Massachusetts, offers internships providing science, education, and conservation experience in working for an international non-profit
organization. At the end of the program our hope is that interns will be able to leave with a comprehensive understanding of both the exciting and routine aspects of what it takes to research and conserve marine mammals.

<strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#253846">We are currently seeking applicants to fill available positions for spring (beginning in April) and summer (beginning in May) 2020. Applications for spring positions are
due by 11:59PM EST on Sunday, February 2nd. Applications for summer positions are due by 11:59PM EST on Sunday, March 1st. </span></strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#253846"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#253846">Fieldwork is primarily carried out on commercial whale watching boats and the field season is April - October. The frequency of fieldwork is weather dependent.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#253846">The program requires a minimum commitment of 12 weeks, with the possibility of extending the term on a case-by-case basis. The internship is a full- time position requiring
availability 7 days a week due to the scheduling of outreach events and daily whale watching trips.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#253846">There is no fee or compensation for the internship positions. Participants must arrange for their own transportation to and from Plymouth and provide their own food. Furnished
housing with a shared bedroom is available on site for a monthly fee of $300 USD, which is strictly to offset the cost of housing. Those that can provide their own housing are encouraged to apply.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#253846">WDC is willing to help qualified students obtain credits for the program through their college or university. International applicants interested in the internship program
must be able to secure their own travel visa and other required documentation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
