Internship
Opportunities
Start here to learn about project opportunities for internships at STRI!
Kindly note that an internship placement depends on finding a match between your interests and a suitable research project mentored by a scientist at STRI. After you have reviewed the project opportunities, you may leave your contact information by filling out the form at the end of the page. However, to apply for any of our programs, you will need to follow the guidelines of each program to complete an application to the Smithsonian Institution Online Academic Appointments system (SOLAA). Only complete applications submitted through SOLAA by the deadline stablished on the program description will be considered.
