Science Internships

Science internships will be made available this year for undergraduate and graduate students studying oceanography, marine science, and maritime archaeology. Since we don't know what we will find while exploring, we are seeking a wide diversity of interests and experience. Successful applicants will join the Science Team standing watches as Data Loggers, processing data and samples, and participating in educational outreach opportunities.

Due Date: 2012 application process is now closed

Engineering Internships

We have partnered with the Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center to provide two engineering internships for undergraduate and graduate students per year. In your application, specify that you would like to work aboard Nautilus. Successful applicants join the Engineering Team maintaining vehicles, standing watches as an Argus Pilot, and participating in educational outreach opportunities.
