Summer Internship Opportunity: Work with NOAA Scientists and Learn to Integrate Mathematics and Fisheries Science

The Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) and the University of Washington request applications for students in the Mathematical Sciences for a summer internship at the NWFSC. Interns will spend summer (~16 June – 15 September) working on a research project that integrates mathematics with the science that informs fishery managers.

The successful applicant will also be provided with office space at the NWFSC or SAFS and a NWFSC mentor.
