The Lacawac Sanctuary Biological Field Station in Wayne County is now accepting applications for its 9-week Undergraduate Research and Education Experience running June 3 to August 2.

Review of applications will begin March 1.

Lacawac interns participate in the Sanctuary’s missions of Research, Education, and Preservation. Interns spend considerable time participating in field work and laboratory analysis, educational and public programs for all ages, and various outreach activities.

The Sanctuary is looking for enthusiastic interns who work well with others, have excellent attitudes, and a record of academic achievement. Interns must be able to work independently as well as part of a team.

Students working towards a degree in the natural sciences and/or an interest in ecology, conservation, or environmental education are encouraged to apply. Previous field or laboratory research experience is preferred but not required.

Interns receive a modest stipend and free housing in a historic Adirondack-style lodge with shared living areas, bathroom, and kitchen and dorm-style bunk rooms for the duration of the internship. The internship is from June 3rd through August 2nd, with negotiable start/stop dates.
