*Research Project Details Throughout the summer as a Research Associate Technician intern at Billion Oyster Project, you will be expected to develop and present a final project or product that reflects your experience, interests, and skills. This project does not have to be a traditional research paper. Instead, it can take many forms, from creative storytelling to hands-on education tools, data analysis, or community engagement initiatives. Your project does not have to align with the specific department you’re working in, but it should meaningfully contribute to BOP’s mission. We encourage you to think outside the box and propose a project idea in your application that excites you! Potential Project Ideas: ● Creative & Artistic – Art installations, interactive exhibits, or multimedia storytelling about New York Harbor. ● Educational & Outreach-Focused – An educational activity (i.e., card game), workshop, or hands-on activity to teach students or volunteers about marine life. ● Science & Research-Based – Data visualization, biodiversity surveys, or water quality mapping. ● Community Engagement & Policy – A social media campaign, event concept, or proposal to improvewater access and restoration efforts.
When applying, you will be asked to include a brief idea for a potential final project—this does not have to be a fully formed plan, nor is it set in stone, but it should give us insight into how you’d like to contribute through our work as an intern.
The Internship Site: ● Main locations – Building 20, Nolan Park Governors Island, New York 10004 MAST Center 134 Carder Rd, Governors Island, New York 10004 ● Additional locations – Field Stations and ORS sites across New York Harbor
