Internship (or M.Sc. project) on Plastic Marine Litter, Utrecht University
Utrecht, Netherlands
In the past few years, Plastic Marine Litter has received increased
attention by the media. The existence and the growth of extensive
plastic gyres in the oceans and the rising quantities of small plastic
debris are increasingly being seen as threat to marine wildlife and
potentially also to human health. There is hence urgent need to minimize
littering and other forms of leakages which ultimately lead to Plastic
Marine Litter.
Against this background it is essential
• to gain better understanding of the sources of origin and on the
pathways (leaks) leading to Plastic Marine Litter in the North Sea and
• to identify future research strategies allowing to obtain deeper
insight into how to prevent Plastic Marine Litter by closing leaks of
plastics to the environment.
These are the two main objectives of the proposed internship (or MSc.
project) which is conducted with a focus on the North Sea in
collaboration with Stichting De Noordzee (North Sea Foundation), the
think tank and consultancy IMSA Amsterdam , the Dutch Polymer Institute
(DPI) and a few other stakeholders.

Internship, Marine Fish Conservation Network
Washington, DC
About the job
It’s hard work creating a prosperous fishing future, and we couldn’t do
it without dedicated, passionate interns who lend a diverse skillset to
our work for a few months.
An internship with us includes a number of support tasks that will
familiarize you with the fisheries world: communications tasks like
media monitoring, reviewing social media, administrative tasks such as
researching funding opportunities, and maintaining our awe-inducing
SalesForce based database. (Seriously. It rocks.)
In addition to these tasks, you will be encouraged to work on an
independent project. Perfect intern projects are made up of things that
intersect your interests and our needs. Our needs are many, and your
interests should be too. We’ll work with you to determine project focus
and scope but you’ll be in the driver’s seat.
About you
You are motivated, passionate, and fun. You’re interested in learning
more about the fisheries world and making a difference. Working with us
is exactly the thing you need to do to launch you onto your path of
greatness, whatever that may be. You’ll work hard to learn the ropes
quickly.
Good people skills are a must—technical communications skills are
helpful, but if you don’t know them, we’ll teach you.
This is an unpaid internship, but we will provide a stipend for your
commute, and introduce you to as many awesome people as we can think of.
In order for us all to benefit from this relationship, we’d appreciate
it if you’d stick around for a minimum of 12 weeks.
About us
Our nation’s fisheries were in crisis—until we built the alliance that
turned the tide. Twenty years later, we’re closer than ever to ending
overfishing and restoring health to US fish stocks. How have we done it?
To find out more visit our website at http://www.conservefish.org
We work hard; we have fun. And even though we have a long and proud
history as an NGO, our new team, our can-do culture and our nimble
operating style have us running more like a startup.
About Applying
E-mail your cover letter and resume to internships at conservefish.org
<mailto:internships at conservefish.org> and include your name in the
subject line. We are accepting applications on a rolling basis until the
position is filled.
