We at the HIMB Shark Lab have an active intern program made up of a wonderful group of undergraduates. These students help us take care of the captive sharks on our research island as well as assist us with fieldwork endeavors and other research activities.

Please note that positions may not be available, but we are accepting applications to keep on file for if/when positions open up. If you have any questions please contact our Shark Lab Intern Coordinators, Mickey Johnson (mrjohnso@hawaii.edu) and Sarah Emerson (sle7@hawaii.edu).
*Applications for Summer 2025 internship openings closed. Applications for Summer 2026 open until April 6, 2026. Candidates are welcome to apply at any point throughout the year if wanting to be considered for unexpected openings in our program, but reapplying in advance of new semesters is strongly encouraged due to high volume of applicants.
