Animal Care And Training Internship
Description: The US Navy Marine Mammal Program (NMMP) began in 1959 with a single Navy scientist and one dolphin. Since that time, the program has expanded its study with the development of the Fleet Marine Mammal Systems utilizing dolphins, beluga whales, and sea lions. In addition, the NMMP is doing a variety of research projects investigating the hearing abilities in a number of species of marine mammals. Research studying dolphin’s biosonar, and their physiological environmental adaptations are also being conducted. We are currently offering positions to be a part of the marine mammal program through internship opportunities.
Qualifications: The internship is offered on a competitive basis to college students in the Marine Science, Biology, Zoology, Psychology, and Veterinary fields. Though the internship is designed for undergraduate students, recent graduates are also eligible to apply. All interns must arrange to receive college credit to be considered for the internship. The internship is a 40 hours per week, 16-week commitment.
Job Description: This internship is designed to give undergraduate students a dynamic educational experience in the marine mammal field while offering valuable career experience. Students will be responsible for a number of support tasks with dolphins and sea lions throughout the course of the internship. These responsibilities will include diet preparation, sanitation, and equipment and facility maintenance. Interns may also have the opportunity to assist the marine mammal training staff in husbandry and open ocean training. In addition, they will provide support to the animal care staff in animal physicals, and assist in a number of different marine mammal research projects. Lectures and field trips will also be conducted throughout the term to enhance the learning experience. To Apply: If you would like to apply and/or learn more, logon to CaneZone at www.miami.edu/canezone and click on Postings and search for U.S. NAVY MARINE MAMMAL PROGRAM.
What is/was your major/year in school?
I am currently a junior & will graduate in May 2008. My major is business management & organization. I also have a double minor in music entertainment & industry & marketing.
Where are you from? Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I am from northern NJ & have been involved with music for over 8 years. I started DJing when I was 12 & was working retail at an indie record store by the age of 14.
When/how did you begin to get involved with your career development and internship/job search?
Over the years I worked in studios, management teams, and gained field knowledge of the music industry. Throughout my life I always have been working and sending out résumés when I had more time to work. I believed at a young age that field experience is key when job/internship hunting.
What services/resources at Toppel have you found to be the most valuable?
What are your plans this summer?
I have found that at Toppel the most valuable source is their resume guidance department. After graduation I plan to work full time at a record label and hopefully in time go to Graduate school.
