Ocean Acidification Internship

This program focuses on effects of changes in ocean pH levels and other variables (such as temperature and nutrient concentration) on organisms found in coral reef ecosystems. Interns will be working with carbon chemistry techniques, water sampling, aquarium maintenance, feeding, cleaning, and possible organism handling. This internship will be based EITHER at the ocean acidification testing facility (OAFTERU) in Summerland Key, Florida, OR at the main lab in Sarasota, Florida, depending upon current projects. College students with chemistry laboratory experience preferred. Hours are Monday - Friday 8am - 5pm with occasional long hours and weekends.

Note: Housing is sometimes available at Mote's Summerland Key facility for a reasonable rate, usually during fall and spring internship sessions. During the summer session or if the facility if full, interns will be responsible for finding their own housing. When this internship is based in the Keys, interns must also have their own transportation.
