Job Description

Research interns in Reproductive Sciences will work with the Zoo’s Manager of Reproductive Sciences to collect, organize and analyze data from on-going projects focused on reproductive biology. Projects vary but may include post-thaw evaluations of semen using both standard microscopy and computer-assisted motion analysis (CASA), recording follicle measurements from ultrasound images, and analysis of reproductive behavior. All internships will include computer-based work, so knowledge of Excel and attention to detail is as important as lab or technical skills. Opportunities for authorship are possible, if the level of involvement merit it. Participation in reproductive success evaluations, which involve working with zoo staff to address challenges that may limit our ability to achieve population sustainability goals will be required; the intern will work on these independently and is expected to present at the end of the internship experience. Other expectations include participation in discussions of scientific literature, conducting literature searches, record keeping, giving educational tours, and other duties as assigned. Necessary training to work safely with lab chemicals and in animal areas will be provided. NOTE: The internship is largely focused on working with scientific data and lab-based experiences aimed at providing practical experience in reproductive sciences. Opportunities to assist with, or observe, animal procedures are possible but not guaranteed to be part of this internship. Furthermore, there may be opportunities to assist with endocrine, animal behavior, and/or welfare-related projects

Applicants must be able to follow directions, work both independently and as part of a team, and handle confidential information. Completion of coursework in related field of study, and some prior experience in collaborative research projects, whether in class or independently in association with their college/university is required. Those applicants with prior experience specific to reproductive physiology (lab or related animal experience) will be prioritized. Graduate students or veterinary students with an interest in comparative reproductive physiology are strongly preferred, but undergraduate upper classmen with the above background will also be considered and are encouraged to apply.

This is a 400-hour paid internship, the final schedule is to be determined, but applicants must have availability during normal business hours (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) Monday through Friday. A commitment to work a minimum of 20 hrs./week is required, but 30 to 40 hrs./week is possible (not to exceed 400 hours). The intern will be expected to start no later than February 1, 2026, with all hours completed by May 31, 2026.
