Endocrinology Lab at the Saint Louis Zoo

Endocrinology Laboratory Internship

The Endocrinology Laboratory at the Saint Louis Zoo is currently seeking applications for our fall internship program.

Throughout the course of the internship, students will learn to extract gonadal and adrenal steroids from fecal samples and perform immunoassays. Interns will also learn how these techniques  are used to characterize cycles, diagnose pregnancies, and monitor stress levels  for a variety of species, including large felids, giraffes, birds, and elephants.

Internships consist of lab work Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to ~1PM.  Scheduling is flexible, but students must be available at least two mornings a week from late August/early September until early December.
