Dauphin Island Sea Lab Discovery Hall Programs (DHP) and the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium are partnering to offer two paid summer internship positions for undergraduates (junior, senior) or recent graduates interested in environmental education.
We are particularly interested in applications from individuals currently considering a career in environmental education.
The Dauphin Island Sea Lab is about 45 minutes south of Mobile, Alabama. It is the marine research and education facility for the state of Alabama.
Discovery Hall Programs offer a variety of summer camps, classes, workshops and outreach events that provide interns with direct experience teaching, organizing, prepping and learning to lead environmental education and marine science education programs while learning about Gulf Coast habitats.
Successful candidates should be interested in marine science or environmental education and have completed a minimum of one year of biology classes. Interns live in the Sea Lab dorms and are expected to work some nights and weekends. Interns should enjoy working with people, including children, be comfortable in the water, have a valid US driver’s license and be capable of handling some strenuous physical activity, as well as Alabama’s summer heat and humidity.
The internship includes a $4,000 stipend and a $500 travel allowance as well as full room and board in the Sea Lab’s dorms. It runs from May 28 to July 31.
The application period for Summer 2025 internships will close March 1. Offers can be expected mid-March. For more details, email [email protected] or go to the Discovery Hall Programs website to apply.
