The University of Southern Mississippi Psychology Department is offering a
Marine Mammal Behavior and Cognition internship to college juniors, seniors and

Interns gain hands-on experience during boat surveys studying the Mississippi

wild dolphin behaviors and photo-identification. In addition, interns learn how

tools.
In the research laboratory, at the USM Hattiesburg campus, interns learn about
photo-identification, behavioral analysis, and acoustical analysis. Lectures
given on topics in Experimental and Comparative Psychology may occur throughout
the internship period.
