[Coral-List] 2008 Curatorial and Research Internships at Reef HQ (Townsville, Australia)] [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Shelley Anthony]

Dear Colleagues,

As part of its role of education center for the Great Barrier Reef 
Marine Park Authority, Reef HQ Aquarium in Townsville (Australia) is 
once again offering four internship positions to suitable applicants 
starting in Feb/Mar and Aug/Sep 2008. Each internship position carries a 
supervised research project, as well as water quality and laboratory 
duties, that will be the core duties of the candidate. However, interns 
may also assist Reef HQ staff with animal husbandry responsibilities of 
all exhibit areas, including feeding, SCUBA diving, field trip 
assistance, maintenance of aquarium systems and other related routine 
duties.
This program is designed for individuals intending to undertake a 
technical or professional career in marine science, aquaculture, or a 
closely related discipline, and provides a unique opportunity for work 
and study in a tropical setting. University credit is available to 
qualifying students. Overseas applicants are encouraged to apply.  For 
further details and instructions for applicants, go to 
http://www.reefhq.com.au/involved/intern/curatorial.html. 
Please note the application deadline has been extended to June 30th.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could forward this internship offer 
to interested staff, volunteers, students, and/or post it on your local 
job boards or university webpages.
Thank you!

Cheers,
Shelley
