Intern at the iLab
Throughout the year, internships and scholarships become available at the Hatfield iLab. See the listings below for internship opportunities, application links, and further details.
Current Openings
2025 Internship
The iLab is offering two year-long internships. These internships start at the beginning of Winter term 2025 and run through the calendar year to the end of Fall term 2025. Students will work onsite 10 hours a week during the academic terms and 40 hours a week during the summer term. Summer housing at Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport will be provided along with an hourly wage.
In this internship, students will focus on the engineering and design associated with studying the marine world. A background in engineering is not a prerequisite to the internship. We are looking for students who have a deep desire to develop solutions for problems facing marine research and a broad desire to more deeply explore the marine world.
The bulk of the internship will be focused on progressing an independent research/design project. Interns will also work on designing or manufacturing short-term projects that come through the lab during the internship.
For more details and to apply go to position #P11627SE at Oregon State University HR. The full consideration date for applications is 12/6/2025 and the closing date is 12/13/2025.
Roundhouse Foundation Support
Because of the generous support of the Roundhouse Foundation, we can offer scholarships and internships to students, so they have the opportunity to utilize the Innovation Lab at the Marine Studies Building at Hatfield and experience immersive, hands-on learning that will support their educational and career goals.
