This summer approximately fifteen positions will be funded by the MATE Center for marine technician internships aboard sea-going research vessels that are part of the University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) and United States Coast Guard (http://www.unols.org/info/vessels.htm). Interns will work with marine technicians on shore and at sea, learning how to operate and maintain a variety of scientific and navigational equipment and support a scientific cruise. These internship opportunities are diverse and will be located throughout the country and even around the world. Past internships opportunities have ranged from onboard chemistry projects, GIS/bathymetric surveys(seafloor mapping), geological studies, work with ROVs and manned submersibles, and much more!
