IMET Summer Internship in Marine and Environmental Sciences

The Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology (IMET) is now taking applications for its Summer Internship Program!

IMET is a joint University System of Maryland research institute capitalizing on the strengths of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, the University of Maryland Baltimore County and the University of Maryland Baltimore.  

For 25 years, the IMET Summer Internship Program has encouraged students from underserved communities with an interest in marine and environmental sciences to apply. Over this time, IMET has mentored a diverse cohort of undergraduate interns, building a community of more than 200 alumni—many of whom have gone on to earn M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Interns will receive an orientation to working in labs focused on molecular techniques relevant to fisheries, aquaculture, energy production and environmental research.

Internship Benefits: This full-time internship includes an hourly wage of $16/hr for the nine-week period. IMET intends to provide no cost summer housing for students from outside the Baltimore metropolitan area. MTA passes will be provided for local travel in Baltimore.

Internship Eligibility: This internship is most applicable to undergraduate students studying biology, marine science, environmental science and other related degrees. (Preference will be given to rising juniors and seniors.)

Students from educational backgrounds with limited access to research opportunities and students from underserved communities with an interest in marine science and environmental science are welcomed and encouraged to apply.

A resume, university transcripts and a personal statement of interest are required.
