Volunteer Intern Southwestern Research Station | American Museum of Natural History
For students interested in assisting with, or conducting, research at the American Museum of Natural History's Southwestern Reseach Station in the Chiricahua Mountains of southeastern Arizona, an area known for its outstanding biodiversity and beauty.
This program offers students in biological sciences outstanding opportunities to observe and become involved with scientists conducting field research.
All meals, shared dormitory lodging, laundry facilities, and internet are provided to interns in exchange for 24 hours per week of routine chores necessary to the operation of the station, with their remaining time available for research activities.
Interns conducting an independent research project, also need to submit a research application.
This opportunity is open to both undergraduate and graduate students whom are currently registered in, or have recently graduated from, or considering re-entering a degree seeking program in a biological sciences field of study.
The program is open from March through October, however most research at the SWRS is carried out from May through the end of August, when the majority of scientists visit the Station. We encourage you to enter the program during this time period, as we cannot guarantee that there will be any researchers visiting during the spring and fall months. Time commitments to the program range from 6-8 weeks.
