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.
Requirements

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.

Liz Giles, the Outdoor School Director at YMCA Camp Dudley in Naches, WA.
We are hiring naturalists for our spring season (April 7-June 11), and I’m hoping you can pass this information on to any upcoming UW graduates or other students who might be interested in a fun, short-term job in outdoor education.
We serve fifth and sixth graders from Yakima Valley and surrounding areas, who come to Camp Dudley for one to four days to participate in hands-on science classes (with other disciplines woven in), outdoor recreation activities, and community building experiences. 

Three great career-building events coming up in November: NOAA Internship Opportunities and Hiring Tips Webinar, Environmental Careers in the Private Sector, and Marine Tech Society Monthly Meeting.

In this project, we aim to learn more about how people from disadvantaged and severely disadvantaged communities (as defined by the US Census), and Tribal communities access, use, relate to, and/or value the ocean. Additionally, we plan to investigate the ability of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) to amplify or diminish such benefits for people across different demographics, locations, and user groups as climate change progresses. The ultimate goal of this effort is the co-development of local strategies for increasing equity in ocean access and MPA management in a changing climate.
