Become Our Intern

The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

Want to Join Us as an Intern?

Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia (TCS) is a small, young but dynamic organisation, with activities ranging from multi-disciplinary research projects to working with the local womenfolk to produce marketable batik-themed products. Our work-type and work-load vary throughout the year, from camping out at the riverbank and micro-chipping terrapins, to measuring newly-emerged terrapin hatchlings, to conducting Turtle Camps with students to co-hosting a CSR programme with corporate companies to managing our social media sites to writing grant proposals and press releases.

Our internship programme is one of the exclusive perks available to our lifetime members. If you are selected for the internship, we do require all candidates to sign up as a lifetime member, which provides access to a variety of benefits, including the internship opportunity itself, networking events, and professional development resources.

We accept interns who are able to stay for a minimum of two weeks, which we believe, benefits both the intern and TCS. Interns will receive a stipend depending on the projects that they are involved in.

Internship Application Form

Thank you for your interest in joining TCS as an intern. Our internship opportunity is open only to Malaysians who subscribe to the objectives of the Society.

Please fill up the following form for us to know you better. If you have any questions regarding the internship, feel free to contact Dr. Chen Pelf Nyok at [email protected] or you may WhatsApp us at 011-5417 3577.

We will only accept interns who are at least 18 years old.
For non-Malaysians, please explore other internship opportunities at the bottom of this page.

We wish you all the best!
