View the list of internships on offer below. This will give you an idea of the types of roles we have available this round. However, please note your application is for the program, not a specific role.
Submit your application via our webform above. Please answer all questions carefully - it is a good idea to draft and workshop answers first (e.g. in Word), then copy them into the application form. Strong applications will be well written, provide good detail about your skills and experiences, and align closely with the program's ethos of active citizenship.
What Happens Next?+
Our program is competitive; there are always more applications than roles. Your application will be considered for its quality and suitability to available roles. We take into account your CV, answers to application questions, areas of interest and identified skills.
Please check your student email regularly; this is how we will contact you if we have any questions. After the closing date of applications, you will be asked to confirm that you still wish to be considered.
Applicants are then matched to roles based on their interests and skills and the specific requirements of the available roles. When selecting and matching, preferences will usually, but not always, be given to:
• Applications ranked highly;
• Applications that indicate a ‘for credit’ unit option;
• Applicants who have not undertaken an Internship with the centre before; and
• Applicants who are enrolled in the Active Citizenship Minor.
These criteria cannot be strictly observed because the Internships Coordinator needs to consider best suitability to available roles based on the applicant’s course of study, preferences indicated in the application, and other skills identified by the applicant.
By the outcome date (listed in Dates and Deadlines) you will be notified of the outcome of your application. If successfully matched to an internship role, you will receive further instructions about enrolment. If your application is unsuccessful, you are strongly encouraged to try again in a future round.
Many internships incur small incidental costs, like any university unit. These are minimal and, in most cases, less than the cost of text books. For example, you may be required to obtain a Police Clearance, Working with Children Check, or a sector-specific screening check. You will also need to factor in transport costs (i.e. fuel or public transport).

In 2014 a new species of Australian skink was split from Ctenotus inornatus (Bar-shouldered Ctenotus) - Ctentous superciliaris - based on genetics and some obscure morphological features. The WA Museum herpetology collection has a few hundred Ctentous specimen jars that need sorting through, to pull out our C. superciliaris and check these morphological characters for their consistency.
The intern will be working closely with our Technical Officer (Dr Kailah Thorn) and Curator of Herpetology (Paul Doughty) in the Research and Collections facility at Welshpool. They will have the opportunity to learn how the facility is organised, how we identify and measure specimens, and how they are best stored to preserve the state collections.
If there are interesting patterns in the collected morphological data, the intern will have the opportunity to coauthor a small publication with WAM scientists on these findings after the internship project concludes.
