WWF's Conservation Science Program has two internship positions, starting January 2014, available:
IN-13140 Conservation and Coastal Livelihoods Intern
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are an integral component of local, national, and international strategies for biodiversity conservation. The impact of MPAs on local communities is the
focus of a contentious policy debate. Under certain conditions, MPAs can provide both biodiversity and social benefits, while in other settings tradeoffs exist between biodiversity conservation and social welfare. To inform this debate, WWF and its partners
are monitoring the social impacts of marine protected areas in the Coral Triangle. We are looking for a motivated intern to assist in the management and interpretation of our coastal livelihoods data.
Internship responsibilities may include data management (updating metadata, database maintenance and design), completion of quality control and quality assurance (QAQC) checks, analysis
of social science data, and assistance in producing short summary reports.
IN-13141 Conservation and Governance Intern
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are an integral component of local, national, and international strategies for biodiversity conservation. The impact of MPAs on local communities is the
focus of a contentious policy debate. Under certain conditions, MPAs can provide both biodiversity and social benefits, while in other settings tradeoffs exist between biodiversity conservation and social welfare. To inform this debate, WWF and its partners
are monitoring marine resource governance in Indonesia. We are looking for a motivated intern to assist in the management and interpretation of our monitoring data.
Internship responsibilities may include translation of written materials from Bahasa Indonesia to English, data management (updating metadata, database maintenance and design), completion
of quality control and quality assurance (QAQC) checks, analysis of social science data, and assistance in producing short summary reports.
