We are excited to announce that our Winter/Spring 2015 Panda Internship is now open. For the upcoming breeding season (March 1st to June 1st) we will be accepting two interns who will live in Ya’an, Sichuan, China. The application closes on Oct. 31st, so be sure to apply before the closing date. For more information, please refer to the internship tab on our homepage, or click here: Winter/Spring 2015 Panda Internship. Good Luck!
are your interns generally able to speak chinese before starting the internship, or do they go and hope to pick some up while there?
Our interns have not generally had Chinese. The researchers at the base speak good english and we encourage our interns to learn and study while there with specialized lesson plans, immersion in the culture and through online tools (such as Rosetta Stone).
