Are you looking to gain valuable research experience with marine mammals?
At the Dolfinarium Harderwijk, the Netherlands, we are now offering more opportunities
for research assistantships/internships to
conduct behavioural research on marine mammals! Research projects are
possible on bottlenose dolphins, harbour porpoises, Californian sea
lions, Steller sea lions, Pacific walruses, harbour seals and grey
seals. Research on different species of sharks and
rays is also encouraged.
Possible research topics include animal welfare studies, human-animal
relationship studies, social behaviour, physiological studies, effects
of different management strategies (e.g. enrichment techniques),
veterinary medicine studies, etc. You are encouraged
to develop your own project, but we are also looking for candidates to
conduct the necessary projects suggested by the Dolfinarium.
We are interested in university graduates as well as students who
have a specialization and experience in animal behavioural research and
observations. We offer unique facilities for scientists who are looking
to gain valuable experience in marine mammal
research. These positions are unpaid, so
we are looking for candidates who are able to cover their own costs for
living and transportation. Graduates are encouraged to apply for their
own funding. Previous research
interns usually applied for an ERASMUS grant.
If you are interested, don't hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards,
