The Dolphin Communication Project (DCP, www.dolphincommunicationproject.org) is currently seeking students (currently enrolled, non-matriculated or recent grads) for two different programs during summer 2020. Position/Program details, with remaining spaces, are listed below. DCP's mission is to promote the scientific study of dolphins and inspire their conservation. With research ongoing since 1991, our questions focus primarily on communication and behavior among dolphins. Our Bimini, Bahamas research site is where we study wild Atlantic spotted and bottlenose dolphins, maintaining photo-ID catalogs with over 250 individuals. A full publication list is available on our website. All programs may qualify for academic credit, however it the student's responsibility to arrange this with their home institution. DCP can provide a letter confirming participation and contact hours. Additional reading material and/or assignments can be assigned. All positions will remain open until filled, however we are eager to fill all remaining positions as soon as possible.
