Salmon Monitoring Internships
Apply today for a Winter/Spring Life Cycle Monitoring internship!
We are seeking interns to assist with our salmon monitoring program this winter/spring and summer! Interns will help us run the Rotary Screw Trap to collect, tag, and release juvenile salmon. Approximate dates are late February - June and will depend on whether candidates select an academic or work experience pathway. Must have a flexible schedule; two free days/week (10+ hours) is ideal, with a strong preference for Friday and weekend availability. Must have transportation to field sites 20 minutes outside of town.
We are also accepting applications for summer interns (June-Sept). Apply for one or both ASAP--applications will be reviewed as they are received!
$1,500 stipends are available; see job description for more info.
Choose a path
We offer two pathways here for our interns. Our Academic Credit Opportunity offers college students a chance to turn their work experience into academic credit for their hours worked on the LCM project. Internship hours take place within a school academic term. Our Work Experience Opportunity is for any growing professional looking to gain experience in this field of study, and the dates have more flexibility. Read more about each pathway above!

Why complete an internship with CoosWA?
The Coos Watershed Association is a dynamic watershed council working to improve habitat in the Coos basin for Coho salmon. A crucial part in working to recover this species is the Life Cycle Monitoring (LCM) program that collects data on the Coho population in the Coos watershed. The long-time LCM program has largely been successful through the sustained support of interns. In addition to being a vital component of the LCM program, internships offer applicable work experience and references for beginning a career in the natural resource field.
