Opportunities at CORE
The Consortium for Oceanographic Research and Education (CORE) offers Washington, D.C.- based internships for graduate students, faculty and staff of the CORE member institutions. Over the years, interns have come from a variety of backgrounds, disciplines and institutions in the academic and government sectors and have made many valuable contributions to the mission and work of CORE.
CORE internships are designed to further the professional development of interns and provide assistance to the CORE full-time staff. In addition to project work relevant to each intern’s research, area of concentration, or degree, each participant will learn about the entire spectrum of CORE activities including involvement in the legislative process, projects with various Federal oceanographic agencies and a variety of educational initiatives. Legislative activities include monitoring, analyzing and reporting on relevant bills, developing information for Congressional members and committees, preparing for CORE representation at hearings and pursuing other items on CORE's legislative agenda. Federal agency activities include development and implementation of a variety of national programs. Education program and policy work may focus on diverse educational arenas including K-12, undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral and informal education.
Applicants must be students, faculty, or staff in good standing at a CORE member institution, have strong written and communications skills, and demonstrate an ability to take personal initiative. Applicants should prepare a letter to their CORE Governor or point-of-contact, describing their interests and qualifications, accompanied by a C.V. or resume describing their academic and work experience, along with a list of three professional references. The CORE Governor or point-of-contact will review the applications and transmit a slate of nominees to the CORE Education Director for further review. Final selection is made by the President of CORE.
Internships are limited to one per CORE institution per year. Internships are available year-round and provide a base stipend of $1500 per month. Institutions are expected to cost-share on stipends for a minimum of 2 months and cover intern travel costs to and from DC. The intern's medical insurance coverage will remain with his or her individual policy or student group health insurance.
