USGS Eastern Geographic Science Center in Reston has a summer internship position available. To apply, send an e-mail expression of interest with an attached resume/CV to Dr. Diana Hogan (dhogan@usgs.gov).
Proposed intern duties:
This student will join an ongoing project investigating the environmental effects of traditional versus novel suburban stormwater management strategies and will initiate work on extending the scope of the project by beginning an economic analysis of the novel stormwater management. The student will be mentored by cooperation of two USGS science centers Eastern Geographic Science Center to provide project and environmental analysis mentoring, and Western Geographic Science Center to provide the mentoring for the economic analyses. The student will work with established partners at Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection and the Montgomery County Planning Department to obtain and organize data and begin a cost benefit analysis of the implementation of the novel stormwater management being used in the county (and being monitored by Eastern Geographic Science Center). The student may also have the opportunity to assist with field and lab analyses to experience both the environmental monitoring aspect as well as the economic aspects of the project.
Work will take place at the USGS National Center in Reston, VA and pay will be based on educational level and experience. The start date is expected to be in mid May 2012 and last through the summer (exact dates are flexible based on the student's academic obligations).
