My name is Alyssa Wurtz, and I am a staff paleontologist at the Wyoming Dinosaur Center in Thermopolis, Wyoming. We are now accepting applications for paid seasonal summer interns to join our nationally recognized paleontology program. We would appreciate your assistance in sharing this opportunity with students who are interested in hands-on fieldwork, fossil preparation, museum operations, and science communication.
This immersive internship offers participants direct experience at active dinosaur dig sites, in a professional fossil preparation laboratory, and in a public museum setting. Interns work alongside experienced paleontologists, educators, and museum staff while gaining real-world skills applicable to careers in paleontology, geology, museum studies, education, and other STEM-related fields.
Housing is provided, and a weekly stipend is included. Interns must be at least 21 years of age and possess a valid driver’s license. Full program details, responsibilities, and application instructions are included in the attached flyer.
Thank you for helping us connect with students who are eager to gain meaningful, hands-on experience in a dynamic and supportive learning environment. Please feel free to contact us at interm@wyomingdinosaurcenter.org with any questions or to share this opportunity more broadly within your department or institution.
