About us
We aim to hire 2 students from UW and 2 students from universities in the US Gulf region. All travel is covered, as well as food and housing for the summer, and interns will each receive a stipend of $7,000. Students will also be supported to attend a scientific conference, where each intern will present results from their independent research project after the internship concludes.
'Note that no previous research experience is required!' We are hiring on the basis of potential, not necessarily experience. We are especially interested in students who have had to overcome obstacles in pursuit of their professional goals. We encourage applications from individuals who are members of groups that are historically underrepresented in the sciences.
The ideal candidate will:
- Be enrolled as an undergraduate at the UW or a university located in the US Gulf South region at the time of the internship
- Have taken courses in ecology
- Be interested in the field of ecology and in conducting scientific research
- Demonstrate curiosity
- adopt a rigorous and scholarly approach to science, with evidence of this from previous coursework
- be a respectful, professional, and generous team player
- have a positive attitude in the face of obstacles or setbacks
- have excellent time management skills; accomplish goals by creating realistic but ambitious plans and initiating open communication when plans need to be adjusted
- have the willingness and the courage to discuss issues openly (i.e., to give and receive feedback, to celebrate successes, and to discuss ways to overcome challenges) Bonus points for folks who have taken courses in statistics or parasitology (although these are by no means required).
