Summer 2018 Bats Internship

Looking for an internship opportunity over Summer 2018? Enjoy working outdoors and road trips?
​ UMD's Appalachian Lab is looking for interns to drive transects throughout central Maryland most nights of June to record bat echolocation calls. The data you collect will help UMD Appalachian Lab and MDDNR learn which bat species are present during summer...which is extremely important.


If you are interested in this opportunity and willing to work most nights in June, you can earn a great skillset highly desired by employers, gas reimbursement, and possibly fulfill your required internship class. Please address any questions or submit your application to shannonp@umd.edu.
Students with a car, current driver's license, clean driving record, ability to work 6pm to midnight most nights in June, and interested in learning about bat ecology are encouraged to apply. To submit your application, please email Shannon Pederson your cover letter, resume, and unofficial transcripts to shannonp@umd.edu by May 18th with the subject line "Summer UMD Appalachian Lab Bats Internship". Training and equipment will be provided towards the end of May.
