Are you interested in learning more about protecting our water resources, and getting good information to decision-makers? The North East Water Resources Network has opportunities for undergraduate students to carry out research for 10 weeks during the summer – in our Vermont, Rhode Island and Delaware research locations.
Research interns will be part of teams who are investigating the impact of climate variability and extreme weather events on water quality and quantity across the north-south gradient from VT to DE. They will investigate how to provide valuable and rapid information to stakeholders (resource users, resource managers, and policy makers) to lead to more time efficient and better informed land and water use decision making.
Dates: Tuesday, June 3rd to Tuesday, August 12th 2014.
Stipend: $4500 stipend; required travel and on campus housing provided.
Eligibility: Students who are rising sophomores, juniors, or seniors, and who are matriculated in one of the NEWRnet partner institutions are eligible to apply. Approximately 14 students will be selected for summer 2014.
Students of a variety of academic backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Those with an interest, or a major in environmental science, environmental studies, natural resources, economics, or computer science/data visualization may find these research opportunities of particular interest.
