Undergraduate Summer Internship Program and UMD Global STEWARDS Undergraduate Program

 Undergraduate Summer Internship Program 

Our team of scientists and educators at CONSERVE, DAWN and Global FEWture Alliance team seek undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing graduate degrees in the fields of environmental health sciences, agricultural and natural sciences, public health, atmospheric and oceanic sciences, water resources management, data analytics, policy and law, environmental education and communications, and other relevant areas. Our vision is to be a collective national resource bringing together research, outreach, and education to effectively reduce the nation’s food, energy and water challenges that are exacerbated by climate change.

 

With projects located throughout the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and globally we are looking for undergraduate student summer interns to assist us in our research, extension and education efforts. Undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing higher degrees in the fields of agricultural and natural sciences, water utilization and conservation, public health, data analytics, economics, policy and law, environmental education and communications, and other related areas are welcome to apply. A central goal of our program is to advance the participation of BIPOC (black, indigenous and people of color), women and persons with disabilities in STEM fields relevant to the food, energy, water nexus.

The 10-week internship will start on June 3, 2024 and end on August 09, 2024. Interns selected for positions within the United States will be granted a stipend of $6,000. Those chosen for positions outside the United States will receive a competitive wage for that country, as outlined on the individual position pages.  Additional funds for expenses (e.g., travel, lodging, per diem) are not provided. We are accepting applications from now until February 09, 2024.
