PICES North Pacific Marine Science Organization
Become a PICES Intern!
The North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES) has established an
Intern Program to allow individuals from PICES member countries to gain
experience in operations of intergovernmental scientific organizations and
coordination of multi-disciplinary international ecosystem research programs
by working in the PICES Secretariat for periods of up to one year.
Under the supervision of the Assistant Executive Secretary, interns will
work on projects relevant to their professional interests and development
needs, including English as a Second Language (ESL) training if required.
Internships will normally begin on or about April 1 and extend for up to 12
months.
This solicitation requests applications from the United States.
Applicants must be staff of the academic or government sector, have an
M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree, the ability to read, write and speak English (taking
into consideration whether English is the candidate’s native language), the
ability to use computers and the Internet, and demonstrated personal
initiative.
PICES interns will be provided a stipend of CDFN $2,000 per month by the
Secretariat.
Travel costs for the intern to and from the place of residence will be paid
by the United States government. Medical insurance and all other benefits
remain a responsibility of the intern’s home country, and, in the case of
the United States, the intern’s home institution.
