We welcome interns from around the world, and have had many over the years. Contact us to discuss your areas of interest.
Longer-term internships are preferred, but we will take interns for periods as short as three months. We are particularly interested in applicants for the following projects, because these will benefit other research programmes that we currently have underway:
- Marine invertebrate taxonomy
- The roles of biodiversity databases in coastal conservation and resource management
- Estuarine and marine invertebrate
soft-sediment/environmental interactions
- Marine invertebrate life history and trophic studies
- Trophic cascades
- Effects of marine-based aquaculture (mariculture) on
sea-bed communities
- The influence of sea-bed structure and composition in shaping benthic invertebrate assemblages of species
- Patterns of distribution, abundance and diversity of marine invertebrates
- Determination of processes that affect patterns in behaviour, life cycles, responses to environmental variables, distribution, abundance and diversity of marine invertebrates
- Cetacean and pinniped diet and ecology
- Cetacean biology
- Marine sampling equipment design
- Biostatistics
- Museum and collection curation
- Polychaetes
- Bryozoans
- Ascidians
- Amphipods
