Minorities in Marine and Environmental Sciences (MIMES) Internship Program

View this Opportunity's Website 



Academic Level: Undergraduate Students

Description: Pending a funding decision - update: Recommended for Funding! MIMES offers undergraduate minority science students internship positions at the Marine Resources Center on James Island (near Charleston), South Carolina. The 12-week program provides students with a supportive yet challenging scientific experience: students will engage with scientific mentors to design and complete their own rigorous scientific project, take classes, participate in field work, present their work to peers, and have the chance to meet successful minority scientists.

Mentors experienced in various fields of marine, environmental and coastal ocean science (including chemistry, marine biology, marine policy, toxicology, microbiology, fisheries science, marine, estuarine and wetland ecology) will assist interns in completing independent research projects. Students will develop their research project, while learning scientific problem solving, writing and presentation skills.
