Internships

We invite you to join a dedicated and enthusiastic team at NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R), where you will gain valuable resume-building experience and an insider's perspective from the nation's scientific leader in oil spill response, restoration, and marine debris.

What We Offer

As an intern, you will work on a variety of projects tailored to meet your interests and availability. You will be encouraged to attend events, lectures, conferences, hearings and receptions that provide fantastic networking opportunities for your career development. OR&R cooperates with institutions of higher learning and internship coordination programs to ensure students receive credit for their work.

We can accommodate part-time and full-time availability; while the duration of internships can vary, most typically last at least 6 weeks. Currently all internships are unpaid. Internships are located in Seattle, Washington, or Silver Spring, Maryland.
