Undergraduate Research Experiences (UREs) offer residential research experience to undergraduates and are designed to provide hands-on opportunities to participate in scientific research under the mentorship of Mote scientists. Students gain experience in scientific research, science communication and attend research seminars and workshops on career skills. The experience gained through a Mote research internship will enhance both the knowledge and experience needed for entry-level employment as well as graduate studies within related fields. Interns will participate in scientific projects being conducted in their mentor’s area of expertise.
The goal of this internship is to broaden participation of students from communities that have a high likelihood of limited previous opportunities for exposure to and engagement with marine STEM (i.e., first generation college student, low income, non-traditional student, attended Title 1 school, person with a physical disability) and/or whose participation as an intern would broaden the scope of life experience backgrounds in marine STEM.
