NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office Internships

The Chesapeake-Student Recruitment, Early Advisement and Mentoring (C-StREAM) Program focuses on recruiting, advising, and mentoring college students from communities that are currently underrepresented in the environmental field and that historically have been excluded from opportunities to pursue careers in environmental research and management. For these internships, C-StREAM will accept applications from students who identify as people of color and/or who are first-generation college students. Learn more about the application process for C-StREAM. Applications for these positions are due February 15, 2020. 

We will host two summer interns through C-StREAM in 2020:

• Field Technician: Support our field program through oyster reef monitoring, water column and nearshore habitat monitoring, and acoustic telemetry data collection. Work will be conducted on a range of vessel platforms and sizes; based in Annapolis, Maryland.
• Chesapeake Bay Restoration and Protection Policy: Help to develop an “indicator”—tracking statistics—on forage species that will be used by resource managers as they consider management of pretty for key predators. Based in Annapolis, Maryland.

The NOAA Chesapeake Bay Summer Internship Program offers undergraduate students the opportunity to work with NOAA and Chesapeake Bay Program personnel on science, policy, and education programming.
