INTERN MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

We accept interns on a continual rolling basis. We will not take more than 3 interns at a given time as we want to enhance the intern and research experience through a one-on-one mentorship approach to ensure interns gain an experience that provides a strong foundation in scientific research, and conservation and management. We encourage interested individuals to contact us promptly as slots are limited and fill up fast. As research projects will change, we will be in contact with interns prior to arrival in regards to the project work you should expect to conduct during your internship.

Our Internships:

Interns are expected to put in about 30 hours of work each week during their stay, assisting CRC with all current research projects, which include a variety of scientific fields (population biology, ecology, community ecology, parasitology, eco-toxicology, phylogenetics, etc.). Interns should expect to participate in community outreach, as well as working with one of our several partners here in Belize. If interested, you can request to spend time at some of our partners’ facilities as well (at no extra cost).

Long-term interns (staying with us for more than 1 month) with specific research interests are encouraged to develop small attainable projects to complete during their internship. We will work with interns to gather and analyze data for potential publication following their internship. We also have various projects that are non-crocodile related and welcome interns whose research interests may include ecosystems or species that are not our primary focus.
