Creating Informal Science and Natural Resource Lessons Internship (Application deadline 1-4-19)

The U. S. National Park Service (NPS) National Capital Region (NCR), Office of Natural Resources and Science (NRS) is seeking an upper level undergraduate student with interest in Natural Resources, Science Education, Park Science, National Parks, and/or related fields. Additionally, the intern should have access to a computer. The intern will design 8 science education lessons for NPS seasonal employees at Monocacy National Battlefield. The highly urbanized and rapidly growing region around NCR parks makes them increasingly important as a critical refugia for urban visitors and other species in a changing climate. We anticipate that the internship will begin in January of 2019 and continue through May of 2019. Students must be enrolled in a degree program for the duration of the internship. Flexible hours are part-time, not to exceed 20 hours/week, during the semester. The bulk of work is by telework with limited site visits to the park and UERLA in Washington, DC. Project mentors will include NPS staff in the UERLA, the Office of Natural Resources and Sciences, and at Monocacy National Battlefield.
