Employer: The Field Museum Expires: 05/14/2026 Digital Paleontology InternThe Mann Lab is seeking a Digital Paleontology Intern.The proposed internship will have the candidate conduct collaborative research on a new species of fossil early amphibian (Temnospondyl) from the Early Permian of Texas. The intern will be trained to identify fossil anatomy based on physical observations, microscopy, alongside newer imaging techniques such as X rays and microCT data. CT data will be processed using Dragonfly segmentation software where necessary. The student will learn the basic principles of comparative anatomy, phylogenetics, taxonomy and systematics. Ideally these results will lead to a publication in collaboration with other members of the Lab.This internship is designed to provide candidates with hands-on training of a paleobiological toolkit of methods and best museum practices commonly found in our field and broadly in natural history sciences. Among these tools, the intern will gain significant experience in computer programs, such as Dragonfly 3D (CT rendering software), PAUP, and TNT (phylogenetics software). Through hands-on training with fossils, they will develop expertise in comparative vertebrate anatomy, becoming skilled at using keys and literature to identify vertebrates at different taxonomic levels. Interns will have the opportunity to network and learn from lab members of diverse backgrounds, not only exposing them to higher-level critical science skills and navigating collaborations, but instill in them the importance of diversity and communication in science.A basic background in biology (first year courses completed) is a prerequisite.Desired start date of June 29th, 2026; 35 hours per week for 8 weeks @ $17.75 per hour. Applications must be received by May 20, 2026. Applicants selected for interview will be contacted by May 26, 2026.Applicants must apply through the Field Museum website.
