The NOAA-NGI Diversity Internship Program provides an exciting scientific educational opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students. These internships provide career exploration in a variety of fields studied by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Northern Gulf Institute (NGI) scientists including coastal science, fisheries management, climate change, ecosystem management, engineering and socio-economic data analysis. Interns work with leading scientists and experts in their fields at their respective research institutions and laboratories while participating in locally relevant research. NOAA and NGI scientists as well as subject-matter experts from federal, regional and state laboratories and agencies act as mentors and facilitate intern research.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please scroll down for additional information and application materials.

| The NOAA-NGI Diversity Internship Program focuses on the foundations of good quality scientific data. Through its various operations, NOAA collects a wealth of scientific data. These data are not always in a form directly usable by management agencies or the public. While working on a specific research project, interns learn how to access, manipulate, produce and interpret NOAA data and metadata. |

|
This 10-week summer internship, beginning May 28, 2012, is open to undergraduate and graduate students who are currently enrolled in a degree-granting program. There is an emphasis on students from communities and institutions in the Northern Gulf of Mexico region, and individuals from demographic groups underrepresented in the NOAA workforce are especially encouraged to apply. Students from all scientific disciplines are eligible to apply for these competitive internships. |

These disciplines include biological, physical, environmental, information, computer, and social sciences as well as education and engineering. Interns will receive a very competitive stipend to help cover living expenses and are required to attend the NGI Annual Meeting on May 23-25, 2012 as well as the Internship Summit at the conclusion of the program. The program covers travel and hotel accommodations for these two events, but obtaining housing at the internship workplace is the responsibility of the intern and not the program.
