Humpback Whale Research Internship

The Center for Coastal Studies (CCS) is offering unpaid summer research

internships in its Humpback Whale Studies Program.  CCS is a nonprofit institution

dedicated to understanding and conserving coastal and marine resources.

Our longitudinal studies of whale populations have advanced science, improved

understanding of human impacts and aided in the protection of critical habitats.

Many CCS research interns have gone on to productive careers in science

or conservation.

This is an unpaid internship based in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Interns

must arrange for their own housing, transportation and living expenses.

 Applicants are advised that the cost of living on Cape Cod is high, particularly

during the summer.  We do not offer college credit but will assist qualified

interns in applying for credit from their home institution.  International

applicants must secure their own Visas or other required documentation.
