Working at the Island station

There are several possibilities to join the team on Helgoland. Students can, for example, participate in a FÖJ, an educational year that offers the possibility of becoming active in environmental protection, or work within the framework of the federal voluntary service ("Bundesfreiwilligendienst"). In addition, university students can apply for practicals ("Stationshelfer"), as well as master and bachelor projects. Everyone working at the Island station joins forces and participates in bird ringing, outreach, research projects, data entry and maintenance of the buildings and equipment.

 

Stationshelfer

Around 50 students join the Island station each year. Practicals need to take place for at least four weeks, and from a four week duration make the student eligible for reimbursement of travel costs within Germany. For German students, information regarding a practical at the Island station can be found in the Info-PDF „StaHe-Merkblatt“.

Each year, the Island station offers 1-2 FÖJ-positions, which start at the 1st of September each year.
