These internship position are based in our Washington D.C. Office with an intended start date of July 1 2016. Details of these position, and how to apply are included below.
1. Conservation Data Analysis Intern (IN-16092)
Conservation decision-makers urgently need credible information on which to base their decisions at local, national, and international scales. The synthesis of existing data, collected by WWF and its partners, offers the potential to provide actionable insights to conservation decision-makers. Consequently, WWF and its partners are exploring the potential for existing global datasets to inform key decisions. We are looking for a motivated intern to assist in the management and statistical analysis of critical datasets.
Internship responsibilities will include:
Identifying appropriate secondary datasets for analysis
Data management, including updating database metadata and database maintenance
Statistical analysis of quantitative social and ecological data, including descriptive statistics, and developing appropriate statistical models.

3. Marine Social Science Intern (IN-16094)
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are an integral component of local, national, and international strategies for biodiversity conservation. The impact of MPAs on local communities is the focus of a contentious policy debate. Under certain conditions, MPAs can provide both biodiversity and social benefits, while in other settings tradeoffs exist between biodiversity conservation and social welfare. To inform this debate, WWF and its partners are monitoring the social impacts of marine protected areas in the Coral Triangle. We are looking for a motivated intern to assist in the management, analysis and interpretation of our coastal livelihoods data.
Internship responsibilities will include:
Data management, including updating database metadata, database maintenance and design.
Statistical analysis of quantitative social science data, including descriptive statistics, and developing appropriate statistical models.
Developing summary reports, presentations and other products outlining the social impacts of MPAs.
