2019 Summer Internship Positions
Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve (OWC), the ODNR Office
of Coastal Management, and the Friends of old Woman Creek anticipate offering
three undergraduate research internships during summer 2019. The
internships last approximately 11 weeks, from mid May - August (start and
end dates are somewhat flexible). Located in Huron, Ohio, on the
south-central shore of Lake Erie, Old Woman Creek is one of the state's few
remaining examples of a natural estuary. OWC is part of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Estuarine Research
Reserve System, a network of 29 coastal reserves whose mission is to
address state and regional coastal management needs through research,
education, and stewardship.
Friends of Old Woman Creek Aquatic Ecology Internship
The Aquatic Ecology intern will assist Dr. Kristi Arend, OWC Research
Coordinator, with wetland research primarily related to fish and aquatic
invertebrate communities. The intern will also assist with water quality
monitoring. Responsibilities include a combination of field, laboratory,
and computer work, such as collecting fish using fyke nets and an
electrofishing boat and identifying larval fish and zooplankton using a
dissecting microscope. The intern will have the opportunity to develop and
pursue an independent project and be a member of a cohort of summer interns
involved in research, education, and stewardship. We are looking for
someone with a strong interest in aquatic ecology, particularly habitat
impacts on aquatic food webs.

Desired qualifications include: progress toward a Bachelor degree in
biology, ecology, natural resources, or a related subject; the ability to
use a dichotomous key and microscope for identifying organisms; valid
driver's license; familiarity with using water quality meters; an
understanding of basic freshwater ecology.

This Intern will earn a $5000 stipend, paid incrementally throughout the
summer.
