Smithsonian Environmental Research Center Information Session
Are you passionate about science and eager to be involved with research that can shape the future of our planet? The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) is now accepting applications to join our 2025 team of summer interns!
Interns at SERC conduct independent projects on a wide range of topics, including some of the most profound issues challenging our world today, such as habitat loss, climate change and invasive species. The internship program enables students to work on independent research projects relevant to their own academic and professional goals under the mentorship of an internship supervisor. Projects span the range of research conducted at SERC, including environmental chemistry, marine and estuarine ecology, molecular ecology and terrestrial ecology. Projects are also offered in public engagement, with opportunities in environmental education, participatory science and science writing.
Summer interns are paid a stipend of $650 per week, and on-site dormitory housing is available. Internship appointments are typically full time (40 hours per week) and 10-16 weeks long.
William & Mary alum Heather Richardson '12 and SERC Education Specialist - Internship and Fellowship Coordinator will highlight internship and fellowship opportunities and the application process.
Applications due February 15.
This session is virtual. RSVP below for Zoom link.
