The Reserve offers several opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students. National fellowships and paid internships are available on a competitive basis for students interested in estuarine science.
Graduate Research Assistants
The Reserve also provides an opportunity for one Graduate Research Assistant to conduct work within the Reserve. Applicant must be a University of Texas student. Please contact the Research Coordinator, Dr. Victoria Congdon (vcongdon@utexas.edu) for additional details.
Undergraduate Internships
At any time, we may have a small number of internships available for qualified University of Texas undergraduates willing to work semi-independently for at least 20 hours per week for an entire semester. The internship includes the opportunity to acquire research credits (9-12 credit hours) by working as an undergraduate research assistant. Projects focus on furthering our understanding of the Mission-Aransas Estuary and typically involve both field research and laboratory analyses. The internship is located in Port Aransas, Texas, at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute.
