The UF/IFAS NCBS summer internship program is intended to give undergraduate students at UF an opportunity for real-world, paid experience in research and/or extension activities. Selected students will work alongside practicing researchers and natural resource managers. These internships are for a 10-week duration during the summer (May to mid-August); however, schedules may vary depending on host/project need.

Selected interns will be paid $15.00 per hour for up to 40 hours per week (i.e., 400 hours total). The hosts include UF/IFAS researchers as well as our state and federal agency partners. Interns will participate in an orientation meeting with NCBS staff and hosts, as well as a summer wrap-up event where interns will summarize their experiences with a short presentation. This is a great opportunity for students to enhance their skills and explore career options in natural resource fields. Application materials and host information for the program are found below. These internships are open to current UF undergraduates only.

Applications are due: March 12th, 2023. Details and application instructions are found at https://ncbs.ifas.ufl.edu/internship-program/. To see information on previous internship projects, including experiences from some of our previous interns, see our blog.
