Geohydrology Internship Program (multiple positions available)

• Measuring the hydrologic response to soil health management practices.
• Investigating hydrologic impacts of solar photovoltaic systems.
• Investigating the sustainability of groundwater conservation practices.
• Computational natural resource modeling and analysis.

While the interns will have a primary focal project, they will have opportunities to work together to gain interdisciplinary experience and exposure to a variety of methods.

Intern duties may include:

40% - Synthesis and analysis of hydrological, meteorological, geophysical, and/or biogeochemical data.
40% - Field data collection including water sampling, streamflow monitoring, sensor deployment, soil sampling, and other relevant activities.
10% - Preparing results for publication or presentation.
10% - Laboratory analysis of water and sediment samples.

Percentages for each duty will vary depending on the specific project the intern works on.

1. Enrollment in or completion of an undergraduate and/or graduate degree program in Geology, Geography, Ecology, Civil Engineering, or another relevant discipline.
2. Relevant coursework in hydrogeology, hydrology, physical geography, and/or biogeochemistry as shown in application materials.
3. Data analysis and visualization experience, preferably using programmatic approaches (R, Python, MATLAB, etc.) as evidenced in application materials.
4. Clear communication skills as evidenced by application materials.

1. Experience with any of the duties described above as evidenced in application materials.
2. Experience with field-based collection of environmental data (hydrology, geology, biogeochemistry, ecology, etc.) as evidenced in application materials.
3. Experience with GIS and/or remote sensing analysis as evidenced in application materials.

• PDF cover letter (max 2 pages) indicating how you meet the required and preferred qualifications, and how the internship will help you reach your career goals.
• PDF document (max 1 page) with responses to three short-answer questions:
  • (<150 words) What are you really good at professionally, academically, and/or technically? List 3 items with a brief example for each to put things in context.
  • (<150 words) What are you not good at or would like to improve academically, professionally, or technically? List 3 items. To help frame your answers, consider what past bosses, supervisors, or teachers might answer when we contact references.
  • (<150 words) Is there anything else that we should know about you that you would like to share?
• Full CV/resume.
• Contact information for 3 references (email address and phone number).
• Academic transcripts (unofficial copies acceptable).
