NOSAMS Graduate Student Internship opportunity – deadline extended
NOSAMS Graduate Student Internship opportunity - deadline extended to June 10
Two internships are awarded annually to U.S. based graduate students to carry out research at NOSAMS. Successful applicants are awarded funds to cover all analytical costs (for a modest number of analyses), round-trip travel and accommodation for a stay at WHOI, and subsistence while in Woods Hole, but not field work and sampling. Applications are due by June 10, 2026; see here for more information or to apply.
