INTERNSHIPS |
With state-of-the-art facilities and equipment that includes research vessels, remotely
operated vehicles (ROVs), and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) which explore the deep
ocean, MBARI offers teachers and students unique opportunities to be involved in advanced
research and development projects. The program is open to undergraduate and graduate
students and teachers.The mission of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute is to
serve as a world center for advanced research and education in ocean science and
technology. MBARI strives to achieve this mission through the development of better
instruments, systems, and methods for scientific research in the deep
ocean.
MBARI emphasizes peer relationships between engineers and scientists as a basic principle
of its operation. Teams at MBARI use cutting-edge technology to develop equipment,
software, and research methods to meet the specific needs of deep-sea research.
The focus of the MBARI internship is on the intern’s professional development—learning research techniques and improving communication and collaboration skills. Each intern will have an MBARI mentor who will supervise a specific project. Interns will also serve as peer-mentors to other interns. |
