Database Internships!
The Florida Program for Shark Research (FPSR) is now accepting applications for database technician internships. Internship opportunities vary year to year depending on the status of current projects. Generally, internships at the FPSR are unpaid as these opportunities are provided to enhance students' education in the field of shark biology. Applicants are asked to work a regular schedule and dedicate at least two months of their time to the internship to be considered.
International Sawfish Encounter Database
The ISED is accepting applicants to assist with the maintenance and development of the ISED and related sawfish education and
outreach initiatives. The successful applicant will assist in maintaining the database using Microsoft Access and Excel by searching and entering recent
sawfish encounters as well as historic encounters documented in news articles and other media. The intern may also be asked to help with the development
of outreach materials including a Public Service Announcement (PSA) and brochures as well as distributing materials to encounter reporters and interested
organizations. Other responsibilities include interviewing encounter reporters, contacting organizations to distribute outreach materials and searching
online for encounters and sawfish-related products for sale. For more information on the ISED and sawfish

International Shark Attack Files
The ISAF is accepting applicants to assist with the maintenance and development of the ISAF’s geographical data. The ISAF is a
compilation of all known shark attacks worldwide that is administered through the auspices of the American Elasmobranch Society, an international
organization of leading shark research scientists, and the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida. The purpose of the File
is to synthesize information surrounding shark attacks, allowing researchers and physicians to gain scientific insight into this phenomenon.
