ESA-USGS Cooperative Summer Internship Program<http://www.esa.org/nextgencareers/usgsfieldinternships> Deadline for Nominations: November 30, 2018
The Ecological Society of America is pleased to announce a partnership with the US Geological Survey to offer summer internships to outstanding field-trained undergraduate ecology majors. The agency is seeking to create a pathway whereby students with excellent training in biological field methods can be nominated and apply for summer internships at USGS, modeled after a similar partnership with the National Association of Geoscience Teachers. The agency is now seeking to expand the program to students trained in biological or ecological field methods. The USGS is the science arm of the Department of the Interior. The agency has 8,000 employees across all states and territories and mission areas in ecosystems, environmental health, water, and climate, as well as the traditional geologic areas like natural hazards, energy, geology, and minerals. The ESA-USGS Cooperative Summer Internship Program is ready to receive nominations of 1 or 2 students<http://www.esa.org/nextgencareers/usgsfieldinternships> who have completed your field course or program within the past 6 months (additional criteria apply). You are invited to submit information about your course or program and to nominate your student/s. Your participation allows students trained in biological or ecological field methods to be hired by the USGS at available field, laboratory, or office related scientific positions throughout the country in 2019. If you allow, information about your course or program will also be posted on our website as a service to the community- especially to students and parents seeking information on programs relevant to ecology. Criteria for Eligible Students and Qualifying Field Training Courses or Programs Apply. Please see details at http://www.esa.org/nextgencareers/usgsfieldinternships Thank you so much for your support. We look forward to your submission.
