“Whales and dolphins of the Moray Firth” field training internship programme
Each year we offer a number of unique opportunities for a seasonal corps of trainees to join us in Gardenstown, Scotland, as contributing members of the CRRU team. This resident Internship Programme is designed as a way for students interested in a career in marine science to gain valuable research experience in a real-world setting. In 2016, places are available on the following field teams: · Team I: 16 May - 26 May
· Team II: 30 May - 9Jun
· Team III: 13 Jun - 23 Jun
· Team IV: 27 Jun - 7 Jul
· Team V: 11Jul - 21Jul
· Team VI: 25 Jul - 4 Aug
· Team VII: 8 Aug - 18 Aug
· Team VIII: 22 Aug - 1 Sep
· Team IX: 5 Sep - 15 Sep
· Team X: 19 Sep - 29 Sep
· Team XI: 3 Oct - 13 Oct
The residential courses are run in the form of a training internship in cetacean research and conservation, with formal lectures, seminars and presentations by the research team and practical training in field methodologies and data collection at sea and tools used in the analysis of long-term field datasets. The cost for an 11 day internship in 2016 is 895 GBP, and this will cover you for full board (all your accommodation and food costs), your full equipment needs and ALL associated field costs during your stay with us in the heritage fishing village of Gardenstown in Banff. You'll simply need to arrange your own travel itinerary to us in Banffshire, northeast Scotland (nearest airport Dyce, Aberdeen, approx. 1½ hours from the field base by coach) plus any personal spending money.
