Chincoteague Bay Field Station is now accepting applications for their competitive Sea S.T.A.R. (Students Teaching and Researching) summer internship. This position is for rising high school seniors (students who are currently juniors age 16 and older). This internship includes three main components: programs, a summer research project, and enrichment. For two months students will live, work, and play at Chincoteague Bay Field Station as they are immersed in the culture of a residential environmental education center. Students will work alongside program staff to provide environmental education programs and summer camp activities; periodically attend college courses; develop their own research project or legacy project; and explore marine habitats of the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

This position is ideal for students who have an interest in education, biology, or science. Students must have a strong academic profile and be interested in an opportunity to work in an outdoor environmental education setting. Interns will spend a lot of time outdoors in marine environments. Students who are enthusiastic and outgoing, can easily work with others and are organized, with good attention to detail will be the best fit for this internship.

Applications deadline has been extended to February 12th, 2016. The internship will begin on Sunday, June 12th and ends on Saturday August 13th. For more information please visit:www.cbfieldstation.org/sea-star-internship
