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 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 the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC) 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. |
