Elevation Science Institute’s Field Internship Program is an opportunity for two interns to spend the summer enhancing their understanding of field paleontology techniques, contributing to active paleontological research, and developing the skills needed to facilitate a large-scale paleontological field expedition.

What Our Field Interns Do

 
 

Applications are due no later than midnight (ET), January 31, 2025.

**Interviews for top candidates will be held on February 13 & 14.**

Who May Apply

All applicants must be:

  • currently enrolled in or recent graduates of undergraduate or graduate studies in a paleontology-related field (biology, geology, etc.) at an accredited college or university.

  • U.S. Citizens (Federal laws and regulations simply make the process of hiring non U.S. citizens too difficult and complicated for our small organization to handle.)
