[Acmsmajors] Summer Internship Opportunities at NOAA - Apply by March 15

[Math & ACMS Student Services Office]

Hello, if you are looking for a paid summer internship and have a
background in ecology, marine biology, computer science, and/or biological
data analysis, NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) has
opportunities for students to conduct research with scientists at the
Marine Mammal Laboratory.

The Marine Mammal Laboratory of NOAA’s Alaska Fisheries Science Center
(MML/AFSC) and the University of Washington’s School of Aquatic and
Fisheries Sciences (SAFS) request applications for student summer
internships. Internships will be for about 10 weeks (during the period of
June to September 2022; 40 hours per week) working on a marine mammal
research project. *Each internship will be supported on a stipend of
$5,400, provided in partnership by the School of Aquatic and Fishery
Sciences, the Marine Biology Program, and MML/AFSC.* Due to the ongoing
coronavirus pandemic, it is currently unclear whether the internships will
be conducted: 1) in-person at the offices of MML/AFSC at NOAA’s Sand Point
campus (just north of Magnuson Park, Seattle) and fieldwork in Alaska, 2)
virtually through online platforms, or 3) in a hybrid in-person/virtual
arrangement. If feasible from a public health perspective, we hope that it
will be possible to welcome interns to an in-person setting at the Sand
Point campus and fieldwork. Successful applicants will be provided with a
scientific mentor and online access to research resources associated with
their projects.

The following marine mammal research projects may be available for
internships during summer 2022 at the Marine Mammal Laboratory:

   1.
*Northern fur seal and Steller sea lion vital rates and demography *(MML/AFSC
   Mentor: Tom Gelatt (tom.gelatt at noaa.gov)
   2.
*Using machine learning to estimate the abundance of spotted and ribbon
   seals *(MML/AFSC Mentor: Erin Moreland (erin.moreland at noaa.gov)
   3.
*Developing an interactive Shiny app for harbor seal abundance in
Alaska *(MML/AFSC
   Mentor: Stacie Hardy (stacie.hardy at noaa.gov)

SAFS values the strengths and professional experience that students,
faculty, and staff bring to our community. We are committed to providing an
excellent education to all of our students of every race, gender, class,
nationality, physical ability, religion, age, or sexual orientation. We are
proud of the different roles that our students, staff, and faculty play in
the community of the School and the College of the Environment. Science is
richer and the SAFS and MMML/AFSC communities are more vibrant when a
diverse group of people participate in research. We are especially
interested in candidates who can contribute to our programs’ diversity
through their life experiences, scholarship, and/or service to the
institutions. People of color, women, people with disabilities, and
veterans are encouraged to apply.
