Ocean Policy Internship, Marine Conservation Institute
Washington, DC

Marine Conservation Institute is a non-profit scientific and
conservation advocacy organization that works to promote the protection
and restoration of the Earth¡¯s biological diversity. From our
headquarters in Bellevue WA and our Washington DC and California
offices, we work to protect marine life around the United States and
beyond by encouraging research and training in marine conservation
biology, bringing scientists together to examine crucial marine
conservation issues, conducting policy research to frame the marine
conservation agenda, leading outreach efforts to educate scientists, the
public, and decision makers on key issues, and building partnerships to
solve problems affecting marine life and people.

Internship Program
Marine Conservation Institute¡¯s internship program provides motivated
and academically-promising students an opportunity to apply their
knowledge and skills in a real©\world arena. During their internship,
students work closely with science and policy staff on cutting edge
issues in marine conservation biology and ocean policy. Most of the
internship opportunities are geared towards graduate students or
students who have recently completed graduate degrees, although we have
on occasion developed opportunities for undergraduates to work on
pressing marine conservation issues.

For internship positions, we seek individuals with excellent
communication skills, substantive knowledge or professional experience
in marine or environmental science or policy, and who share our
commitment to the preservation of marine life and biological diversity.
We also prefer candidates who have a demonstrated ability to work
independently, with minimal direct supervision.

Working out of our DC office, policy interns have the opportunity to
work closely with our policy staff to gain important skills in
conservation advocacy. Previous policy interns have had the opportunity
to assist with establishing National Monuments and our National Marine
Sanctuaries Reauthorization efforts. Policy interns have described their
internship experience as being important for learning about lobbying and
the legislative process and for understanding more about packaging
science for Federal decision makers. These internships coincide with the
academic calendar.

Duties
Internship activities include:
¡¤ Conducting research on US marine policy
¡¤ Setting lobbying appointments with congressional staffers
¡¤ Accompanying Marine Conservation Institute staff on visits to the
Hill/agencies and keeping records of visits
¡¤ Staying abreast of and briefing staff on marine conservation news
¡¤ Preparing educational materials and fact sheets
¡¤ Providing administrative support (answer phones, file, purchase office
supplies, open & distribute mail, computer troubleshoot, etc.). This
constitutes approximately 20% of the intern¡¯s time.

Compensation
We would prefer to hire a full-time intern (40 hours/week), but will
consider bringing on a part-time intern (20 hours/week). Internships are
on a volunteer basis. No benefits or relocation costs are provided,
except standard holidays falling during the internship term. We are
willing to work with interns and their universities to obtain academic
credit for internship work. Opportunities for independent research in
marine conservation should be discussed at the time of interview.

Period of Internship
End of December ¨C May 2013

Application Process
To apply to the internship, please send the following material via
e-mail to internships at marine-conservation.org
<mailto:internships at marine-conservation.org>. Applications due November
16th. Please reference the internship title and your name in the subject
line:
A cover letter detailing your interests, relevant experience, goals and
availability;
A r¨¦sum¨¦;
A writing sample (1-2 pages);
A course list detailing applicable coursework experience;
And a list of 3 references.
Please no calls.

aspects]

Several internships are available at the World Wildlife Fund ¨C United
States. They are designed typically for graduate students, although some
may be appropriate for advanced undergraduates. Projects can be
undertaken over the summer (with extensions, as necessary, into the fall
semester).

Most projects could also be extended over the course of one or two
semesters as part of a student¡¯s course work or thesis requirements;
advance arrangements would be necessary with faculty advisors.
Internships are typically unpaid unless otherwise noted, but facilities,
library resources, and computers at WWF headquarters are available.
Hours are flexible. To qualify for an unpaid internship, the student
must provide documentation that they are receiving credit from their
university, or that the work they will be performing is consistent with
