The NAMMCO Internship Programme gives students or early career individuals an opportunity to enhance their experience in international environment management, improve their skills, and learn more about NAMMCO and its activities. Applicants can be from NAMMCO member or EEA countries only due to new VISA regulations for nationalities outside these countries which we are unable to assist.
Interns work full time at the NAMMCO Secretariat in Tromsø, Norway.
Objectives
Interns will gain experience and knowledge of the daily operations of NAMMCO as an intergovernmental organisation providing environmental management advice. The NAMMCO Secretariat will benefit through the presence of an additional professional and the particular knowledge, skills and ideas they bring.
Nature of the Internship
Under the supervision of the staff of the Secretariat, interns will participate in the daily life and activities of the organisation. Depending on the opportunities and needs at the time, the work can include work on:
- Communication and outreach (e.g. through the web, social media, traditional media, presentations)
- Meeting/event organisation, participation, report writing
- Text editing and translation
- Database, library and archive maintenance
Fieldwork or laboratory work is not part of the internship.
The internship presents a potential to work on project(s) relevant to the work of NAMMCO. Currently we are particularly, but not only, seeking applicants interested in the topic of marine mammal-fisheries interactions and willing to participate in the assessment of the by-catch risk posed by different fisheries on marine mammals in the NAMMCO management areas.
The intern will be attributed a supervisor and will have regular meetings with the staff of the Secretariat. The preferred duration of the internship is between 9 and 12 months.
