For the fourth year in a row, the EarthLab Summer Internship Program invites you to join a community of students working toward an equitable and sustainable future! Designed to support the next generation of imaginative and resourceful leaders, our program offers undergraduate students at the University of Washington the chance to build skills in interdisciplinary and community-engaged work at the intersection of climate change and social justice. 

Undergraduate Opportunities
Through funding provided by the Oceankind Foundation, the Marine Landscape Ecology Lab supports the paid participation of one undergraduate intern each summer. The intern will support projects focused on the mapping of sea lion communities in California, and rocky intertidal communities in British Columbia, California, and Washington. A $6,000 stipend is provided as part of the student’s participation.

Be a University of Washington undergraduate student enrolled in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) degree program. 

We are looking to hire a junior or senior undergraduate student to assist in the development of a Bycatch Reduction Performance Indicator (BPI) as part of a NOAA-sponsored halibut bycatch reduction device (BRD) project. The student will conduct/assist in up to three tasks: literature review, BPI development, and BRD scoring.
Background
A BPI will be developed to evaluate and compare BRDs previously tested and/or used in the Bering Sea Pacific cod trawl fishery. 

The Wood Lab at the University of Washington seeks to hire three undergraduates for a 9-week Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) internship to take place between June and August of 2025. We anticipate hiring one undergraduate from the University of Washington and two who attend other universities. The position is supported by a CAREER award from the National Science Foundation for a project entitled, “Reconstructing parasite abundance in river ecosystems over the past half century.” The students hired into this position will have the opportunity to be at the forefront of a new sub-discipline: the historical ecology of parasitism.
