Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens Animal Behavior Internship

Academic Year Internships at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens are open to University of North Florida undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students interested in careers in animal behavior research fields.

Complete applications received by May 26, 2023 will be reviewed by a committee consisting of UNF faculty and administrators. The decisions of the UNF committee will be announced by mid-June. Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens will then contact students to schedule interviews during the summer semester. Successful applicants will work at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens during the fall and spring semesters of the next academic year (Fall 2023 and Spring 2024). Acceptance by the UNF committee does not guarantee placement in a research project at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens.

Interns will be required to sign and abide by the terms of the Internship Agreement as well as fulfilling the requirements of the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens to work at their facility. Students accepted for the internship should expect to devote a minimum of 20 hours per week to working at the Zoo. Each successful applicant will be required to register for a minimum of 1 hour of internship credit during each semester of the internship.

To complete this application, you will need to upload answers to three personal statement-related questions as well as an unofficial copy of your transcripts. You will also be asked to provide the name and email address of a faculty member who will provide a confidential letter of reference.

Please direct questions about this opportunity to Dr. Ochrietor.

Thank you Candice and Jacksonville Equestrian Center for letting us volunteer and work with the horses in HORSE Therapy Program. We had so much fun learning about how your organization uses horse therapy in so many wonderful ways and are so grateful for the opportunity to be able to help take care of these amazing animals 🐎🫶

If you are interested in volunteering and helping out with these amazing people and horses, please dm us for their contact info! There is also a summer camp coming up where volunteers are much needed.

Thank you again 💕

Thank you everyone for showing up at tonight’s meeting! It was so much fun sharing our experiences as pre-vet students and learning more about being a more competitive candidate for vet school. We will be posting helpful links for vet school applications on our canvas website.

Make sure to sign up for our upcoming volunteer events through Canvas. We can’t wait to see y’all there!
