Internships in Sao Paulo, Brazil

Brazil is known for housing most of the Amazon rainforest and amazing world-renown beaches along its coasts. But, São Paulo is specifically known as the artistic center of the country, and an overall business fueled city. The most populated and largest city in Brazil, São Paulo offers many internship opportunities, to say the least. Despite not having direct access to the nation’s well known rainforest or beaches, this highrise jungle maintains the culture and energy that Brazil is known for. São Paulo offers numerous prospects for internships abroad, equipped with weekend getaways that are still just a stone’s throw away.

Amphibian Researcher in Brazil

IPBio researches amphibian reproductive habits and embryology in captivity. In addition, we conduct regular inventories of amphibians using pitfalls distributed throughout the reserve. Education in biology would be a huge benefit in this program, but it is not a requirement. Our projects are: - Tadpole Monitoring: IPBio collects tadpoles and monitors their development to study the embryological process as well as the presence of a deadly fungus called Bd. - Amphibians in Captivity: IPBio has species of frogs in captivity to study their mating habits. - Amphibian inventories: IPBio wishes to understand the distribution of amphibians, understand their reproductive habits, track species composition and well-being, and potentially find new species. IPBio has 6 different sites, each with 5 pitfalls. Volunteers will need to open the pitfalls for 48 hours and visit the sites to collect data such as species, photographs, size, any diseases found, or other relevant information for statistical analysis. This role demands volunteers who can deal with highly exhausting activities, as a lot of hiking is required in difficult conditions.
