Subject: Dolphin Research Internships
From: "Emily Guarino" <emily at dolphins.org>
Dolphin Research Internships
Dolphin Research Center (DRC) is currently accepting applications for
Research Interns for the Winter/Spring term. DRC is a not-for-profit
education and research facility, home to a family of Atlantic bottlenose
dolphins and California sea lions. DRC is located on Grassy Key,
in the heart of the Florida Keys.
Internships at DRC are an exciting way to develop career skills as well as
an opportunity to get "behind the scenes" to see how a marine mammal
facility operates. Research interns participate in DRC's ongoing
research projects, giving them broad exposure to a variety of research
methodologies. Interns receive extensive on-the-job training in
observing marine mammal behavior, collecting observational data, working
with research equipment, and assisting with experimental research
sessions.
Specific job duties include:
*Collecting observational behavioral data
*Preparing stimuli for experimental research sessions
*Assisting in setting up and tearing down equipment for experimental
research sessions
*Operating video equipment
*Entering data into the computer for analysis
*General support of the facility through participation in the
volunteer resource pool (facility maintenance, bird care, assisting
with public programs, guest interactions, etc.)
Research studies can vary widely in nature and availability. For
information on past or current research projects at DRC, please
visit our website, at www.dolphins.org <http://www.dolphins.org.
Publications:
Jaakkola, K., Fellner, W., Erb, L., Rodriguez, A. M., & Guarino, E.
(2005). Understanding the concept of numerically "less" by bottlenose
dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). Journal of Comparative Psychology.
Internships require a minimum of a 16-week commitment, 40 hours per
week. The internship is unpaid, and interns are responsible for providing
their own housing. DRC will provide assistance in locating housing and/or
matching up interns and volunteers desiring roommates. Successful
candidates will be ready and willing to learn, self-motivated, and
flexible. Prior research experience is recommended but not required.
The deadline to apply is *** October 1st ***. Further information and
application materials can be found on our website at www.dolphins.org
