As part of its Undergraduate Summer Internship Program, the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC) is currently accepting applications for interns and faculty mentors from the University of Maryland community.
SESYNC interns will spend a majority of their time working with faculty mentors at the mentors’ offices or labs on research projects related to socio-environmental issues. Projects are proposed and supervised by mentors; interns and mentors are matched by SESYNC based on discipline/major and interests. Interns will be paid $10.50/hour.
SESYNC’s Internship Program provides undergraduate interns with opportunities to:
Obtain an authentic research experience and contribute to their mentor’s research program.
Enhance their understanding of the complex nature of socially relevant environmental problems and the research approaches used to address them.
Enhance their understanding of how scientific evidence may be used to inform decision-making and policy with regard to environmental problems.
For Interns
Internship applicants should be an undergraduate student with a demonstrated interest in environmental sustainability and socio-environmental issues. For more information on becoming a SESYNC intern, visit www.sesync.org/careers/summer-intern-2014
