Internship

If you’re a keen marine or environmental science bachelor student or postgrad, come join the research team for three months.

Help contribute to ongoing research projects for baseline data of the surrounding area, assist aquaculture operations and get hands-on experience in an operational algae lab. Guided by your Field Research Officer.

Our mission is to facilitate truly independent marine research, exploration and discovery throughout marine and coastal environments in the Kimberley region.

Jump into the Kimberley region

Discover one of the last few places classed as a marine wilderness.

Join previous interns as we create baseline data and learn more about the untouched wonders of the King Sound.

Life on site

Enjoy a short commute to work while staying in the staff area on the farm.

Breakfast and lunch are self-serve while dinner is buffet style provided by the restaurant chefs. Accommodation includes donga style bedding and shared bathrooms. During down time enjoy the communal kitchen, outdoor gym, paddle boards, and kayaks as well as regular social activities.

What to expect

Work a Monday to Friday week with the afternoons and weekends off to explore the beautiful Dampier Peninsula.

This may change during busier times or when visiting research scientists are on site.
