California Wildlife Center in Malibu California is currently accepting
applications for Marine Mammal Response and Rehabilitation Internships.
Three positions are available during each session. The Spring Session
begins March 12. The Summer Session begins May 14. During each session
applicants are required to commit to a minimum of four days per week, 32
hours per week for eight weeks. There is flexibility in start and end
dates.
Intern responsibilities include: assisting Marine Mammal Response Team
staff and volunteers in the assessment, rescue and transportation of
sick and injured marine mammals; assisting Marine Mammal Rehabilitation
Team staff and volunteers in the care, rehabilitation and release of
Northern Elephant Seal pups during the stranding season.
The internship is open to all applicants at least 18 years of age or
older. Undergraduate students and non-students alike are encouraged to
apply. If the intern intends to receive academic credit, the intern
will be responsible for making all arrangements with their educational
institutions. Due to the unpredictable nature of marine mammal stranding
response, interns may sometimes be required to work beyond their normal
scheduled hours. Interns must be able and willing to work flexible
hours including weekends and holidays. Interns will be required to have
good physical strength and the ability to lift/carry 50 lbs. Interns
need to have the ability to multitask and work in a fast paced
