Job searching tips
- LinkedIn's job board gets better every year as more companies are utilizing this feature. Make sure your LinkedIn profile is up-to-date and sign-up for job notifications in fields and locations you're interested in.
- Other local, state or national government job boards. Where do you live? Are you looking to move? There are many government offices, and even inter-governmental organizations, looking for expertise you can bring to the table.
- Don't forget to look directly at organizations you might want to work for. The Nature Conservancy, and IUCN have jobs all over the world - as do Oceana, Ocean Conservancy, WWF, National Geographic, and so many more.
Internships
CMBC as an organization does not have internships available at this time. If you’re interested in getting involved with one of our member labs, please contact the principle investigator (PI) for that lab directly to inquire about any opportunities.
