Marine Science Internship for High School Students:
THE DEADLINE HAS PASSED FOR THIS PROGRAM! We are pleased to be able offer ONE high school internship at SML this summer. The high school intern will be assigned to an advanced RIFS undergraduate intern and will assist with the RIFS research project. There will be an opportunity to design and perform a small research project of the high school intern's choice (in consultation with the RIFS intern and the staff intern coordinator). The high school intern will learn about experimental design, techniques in field marine research, statistics, scientific writing and presentation of results. In 2009 this opportunity is offered to high school students who have already completed a course at Shoals prior to 2009. Please apply using the regular Shoals on-line application. Questions may be directed to Robin Hadlock Seeley, Assistant Director for Academic Advising, Senior Research Associate and Intern Coordinator (607-379-3342; shoals-lab@cornell.edu).
