The program immerses interns in collaborative teams as they learn innovative research and engineering techniques and improve communication skills. Each intern will have an MBARI mentor who will supervise a specific project for a 10-week duration. Interns also serve as peer-mentors to each other. There is a stipend (2024 stipend was $20/hour) and the program is full-time. MBARI will try and assist with housing for those interns coming from out of the area.
Interns must be at least 18 years of age when the program starts and international applicants are eligible but must be able to secure a work visa if accepted (visa costs and international travel are not supported by MBARI). Students (undergraduate or graduate) are eligible as are those that have graduated but are planning on continuing onto graduate school. Educators at all levels are eligible.
