Overview

The Dolphin Communication Project (DCP, www.dolphincommunicationproject.org)
is currently seeking students (currently enrolled, non-matriculated or
recent grads) for two different programs during summer 2020.
Position/Program details, with remaining spaces, are listed below.

DCP’s mission is to promote the scientific study of dolphins and inspire
their conservation. With research ongoing since 1991, our questions focus
primarily on communication and behavior among dolphins. Our Bimini, Bahamas
research site is where we study wild Atlantic spotted and bottlenose
dolphins, maintaining photo-ID catalogs with over 250 individuals. A full
publication list is available on our website. All programs may qualify for
academic credit, however it the student’s responsibility to arrange this
with their home institution. DCP can provide a letter confirming
participation and contact hours. Additional reading material and/or
assignments can be assigned. All positions will remain open until filled,
however we are eager to fill all remaining positions as soon as possible.
