LAIKA Internships are only available for a total duration of 12 weeks from June to September each year. Unfortunately in the very unlikely event that our offices were to be damaged by climate change. This issue is being addressed at a political level right now, we would not be able to run any internship programs. Therefore, you won’t be allowed to apply for an internship if working at our facilities in Oregon is no longer possible due to adverse weather conditions such as hurricanes or floods, for example. We appreciate your understanding and thank you so much for your interest!
To qualify, candidates should be enrolled in or have graduated from a university with a relevant degree. (Students are eligible if they are enrolled in or will complete the degree within 1 year of the application deadline.)
LAIKA only offers paid internships, and cannot offer college credit in place of payment. LAIKA does not offer housing assistance for internships. Upon accepting an offer, it is the intern’s responsibility to secure housing for the duration of the program.
