MBA Intern & CSUMB Scientific Illustration Internship (July - October)

Monterey, CA
Description:
Join Our Team: The Monterey Bay Aquarium Internship Program (MBAIP) is a rich learning resource for interns and externs, enabling them to partner with the Aquarium in pursuit of our shared DEIA objectives and take our mission to the next level. The MBAIP will provide eligible college, undergraduate, and graduate students with meaningful work experience under the direction of an Aquarium mentor. The MBAIP is outcomes-based, requiring a project report at the conclusion of the program, further documenting the participant's growth along their developmental pathway. In collaboration with California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB) Scientific Illustration program, the intern will work under the guidance of the veterinary team.

The intern will utilize their access to necropsies/dissections, specimens, radiographs, microscopes, and live animal observation available at the Aquarium to build a series of illustrations that will be well-informed and potentially of great use to anyone working with these animals in research or husbandry. There may also be opportunities to work with other departments including Seafood Watch, or Exhibits & Publication as need for additional graphics arises, as well as potential opportunities to speak to Aquarium guests about the value of art in STEM. Interns are expected to give a brief presentation of their work at the end of their internship.
