Science Internship, Caribbean Division, The Nature Conservancy

This internship may be based in any Caribbean location where TNC has an established entity (The Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, or USVI). TNC offices in Miami, FL or working remotely within the United States may be considered.  Only applicants who are currently eligible to work in the above locations will be considered.

The Science Intern provides technical, research, administrative and general assistance to program staff working toward the achievement of marine management, coral reef restoration, climate adaptation, and climate mitigation across the Insular Caribbean.  

The Science Intern, under the direction of the Spatial Ecologist, works with the Caribbean Division Science Team to support data management, produce static and web-based maps, and provide scientific and geospatial support to conservation projects; such projects may include our Caribbean 30x30 Roadmap (CaribbeanRoadmap.tnc.org), aimed at expanding and improving management of marine and terrestrial protection across the Insular Caribbean, as well as our CoralCarib project, aimed at conserving key coral refugia sites in Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. 

The Science Intern generally works in an office or home office setting, although the possibility for fieldwork or workshops may arise. The Science Intern may conduct research and literature reviews, data collection, data analysis, data management, data processing, and reporting. The Science Intern supports day-to-day science team operations by participating in virtual meetings and collaborating with other science team members and Caribbean conservation staff via email or Teams.

This is a full-time term-limited position of approximately six months, with an anticipated start date in June 2025 and an end date in November 2025.  Candidate must have the ability to work full-time (35 hrs/week).

The jumping performance of two Eleutherodactylus frog species: the effect of temperature

1 month 2 weeks ago
Gisela Mía Crespo-Martínez
This study was undertaken to understand the species-specific response and the effect of changes in ambient temperature on the jumping performance of two congeneric tropical frog species, environmental specialist Eleutherodactylus wightmanae and environmental generalist Eleutherodactylus coqui, obtained from three distinct populations across their east-west longitudinal range in Puerto Rico. Three environmental temperatures currently experienced in their natural habitat were selected for...

Creation and Characterization of a Breast Cancer Tissue Microarray Including Black and White Patients from Florida and Hispanic Patients from Puerto Rico and Florida

1 month 2 weeks ago
Abigail E Lantz
Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide and is known to have higher mortality among women with African ancestry. Herein, we describe the creation and characterization of a multiethnic breast cancer tissue microarray (ME-BrTMA) representing tumors from non-Hispanic White (n = 41), non-Hispanic Black (NHB; n = 45), and Hispanic patients from Puerto Rico (n = 36) and Florida (n = 52). This ME-BrTMA comprises five blocks with a total of 610 cores: 371...

Residuals: (or On the Use of Statistical Analysis to Perpetuate Systemic Racism)

1 month 2 weeks ago
David Claudio
This poem was inspired by my research and lived experiences. As an associate professor of industrial engineering, my research focuses on dismantling structural racism in health systems. My holistic view of processes has helped map out public health programs and identify where Hispanics are being left behind. As a Hispanic who lived in Montana for over a decade, my family and I have been marginalized solely due to our skin color, language, and accent, irrespective of our nationality or...

Genomic and Physiological Basis of Structural and Foliar Trait Variation in Tropical Species <em>Pterocarpus officinalis</em>: Implications for Restoration in Future Drier Climates

1 month 2 weeks ago
Sean M Collins
Tropical wetlands are some of the most threatened ecosystems in the world. Pterocarpus officinalis exists in swampy wetlands in riparian and fresh-water coastal areas across the neotropics, supporting biodiversity and storm surge and flooding protection as well as water filtration. In Puerto Rico, P. officinalis-dominated forests have been severely declining in recent decades, mainly due to land development. Reversing this trend in the face of climate change and projected sea level rise via...

Selenium Adsorption on the (111), (100), (110) and (211) surfaces of Face-Centered-Cubic Metals: Density Functional Calculations of the Potential Energy Surfaces

Rolando L Albarracín Rivera
In this study, we expand the computational investigation of selenium, which has previously been limited to metals such as Cu, Fe, Pd, Au, and Pt. Utilizing density functional theory calculations, we explore the adsorption and diffusion of selenium at a low-coverage regime of 0.25 ML on a broader range of metal surfaces, including Ni, Cu, Rh, Pd, Ag, Ir, Pt, and Au. Our results reveal that selenium exhibits a distinct preference for three-fold or four-fold high-coordination sites on most studied...
