Internship in Field Research and Land Stewardship
Great Hollow offers paid summer internships to undergraduate or graduate students who are majoring in the natural sciences and have a strong academic record and an interest in field biology. Interns work under Great Hollow’s scientists to assist with summer research projects, during which they gain experience in study design and a variety of field methods. Interns also help with miscellaneous office duties, community events, animal care, and facility and trail maintenance, and otherwise contribute to the general day-to-day operation of Great Hollow. Internships are typically 8 weeks long, beginning around June 1. They include a stipend as well as shared, on-site housing for those who do not live locally.
All 2026 internships are now full. Please check back here next spring for a position announcement if you are interested in being a summer research and stewardship intern.
