This internship offers you the opportunity to help conduct field research in a remote location with our research team. Follow up research will be conducted remotely from your home or university. Your work will be used in the development of a guide to that region.

We are currently looking for interns interested in getting out of their comfort zones and traveling abroad on our expedition to Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. We are looking for a researcher to help us publish a trail and beach/reef guide to the island. We are looking for researchers to help document culture, natural resources, tourism, large marine life, reef fish, and coral reef species.

• We are looking for students of all majors. Focus areas include GIS, marine life, oceanography, geology, tourism, economics, natural sciences, travel writing/blogging, anthropology, as well as students interested in the making of a documentary of the expedition.
• Action Research at expedition destination (8 days).
• Mobile Research from any location (1-3 months/10 hours per week following field visit)
• Interested in earning college credit? We will work with your university to ensure that you receive 3-6 credits for your contribution to the field guide.
