 2020 Summer Science Internship Announcement
  Great Pond Foundation (Edgartown, MA)
 
 Each year the Great Pond Foundation engages the services of high school and college interns to assist with our Ecological Monitoring Program and work with our Scientific Program Manager. GPF is committed to scientific data collection, much of which involves assessing water quality at 12 stations around Edgartown Great Pond twice weekly. In addition to water sampling, interns will help monitor eelgrass (Zostera marina) beds and survey for invertebrates such as shellfish, jellyfish, and tunicates. In summer 2020, we will be starting a Biodiversity Monitoring Program, where we will study species composition and abundance of fish, zooplankton, and phytoplankton in the Pond using beach seine and plankton nets.
 We are looking for one high school and one college student for a Summer Science Internship. The ideal candidates should have an interest and enthusiasm for marine biology, environmental science, and science communication. Candidates must be capable of conducting repetitive tasks and spending long hours in the sun, with field days starting just after sunrise. Ability to collect and record scientific data accurately is required. Experience operating small boats and knowledge of New England coastal habitats and commonly found species is a plus. A typical week will be 25-30 hours, but occasionally up to 40 hours/week, with 3-4 work days each week. Housing is available if needed.
