Arctic Internships and Fellowships

Arctic International Internship

The Arctic is vast, diverse, and powerful. Travelling to Arctic regions can be a transformative experience, invoking thoughtfulness and cultivating personal growth. Working with Arctic organizations that perform remote work can be equally invaluable for expanding perspectives.

Stefansson Fellowship

Stefansson Fellowship projects can deal with topics in any field of study related to the Arctic and can be either student-led or in partnership with staff or faculty of Dartmouth. The Institute of Arctic Studies offers this fellowship as an opportunity for students to pursue projects remotely, or in-person.

Dartmouth-McGill Arctic Internship

For undergraduates interested in Arctic science but unsure which field you find the most interesting.

Runs from the Fall through the Spring.

Dartmouth & Engaging Indigenous Knowledge in Alaska Marine Policy

This internship, new to 2025, is a project under Dr. Hekia Bodwitch with the University of Alaska, Southeast.

This project is for students with an interest in the intersection of Indigenous Knowledge and state or federal policymaking.

Dartmouth to Greenland

Students looking for an immersive study experience in Greenland can take a leave term to audit classes at Ilisimatusarfik (the University of Greenland). Our Dartmouth-Greenland off-term opportunity remains at the heart of our commitment to expanding mutual understanding between Dartmouth and Greenland.
