Summer Internship Opportunities at the St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center

Are you looking to apply your classroom learning to real-world environmental science questions? Are you looking for hands-on research and science career experience? A summer internship at the USGS St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center is a 10-week full-time program for undergraduate juniors and seniors interested in pursuing careers in marine science or science support. Participants will have the opportunity to develop skills and contribute to important research to deepen understanding of the processes that influence coastal and environments including such as sandy beaches, estuaries, coral reefs and the deep sea.
