Hello  Marjorie,

I hope this message finds you well and you are enjoying your summer.

I am going to be posting an announcement for an intern through the Oakridge Institute’s ORISE program (http://orise.orau.gov/epa/default.htm) within the next few weeks.

While this is not an EPA position, the internship can be renewed 3 additional years and the position provides great opportunities to those interested in working for the federal government.

I am specifically looking for someone with knowledge of climate science.  I was thinking you might be aware of a few recent graduates that might be interested in this position.  When the position is officially posted I will let you know, feel free to pass on my contact information to anyone that would want to talk to me about this opportunity.

Below is a rough draft description of the job and the qualification requirements.

Thank you.

The intern will be involved with the Climate Ready Water Utilities initiative team within the Water Security Division.  The intern will assist with the development of tools, training courses, guidance documents, and other resources to help utilities be better prepared to adapt to and mitigate the potential impacts of climate change on drinking water and wastewater utilities.  The intern will support Agency staff with coordination among water sector response and climate change partners at the utility, local, state, and federal levels.  He/she will assist: 1) in conducting analyses; 2) developing summary reports; 3) working with EPA staff and external stakeholders, and 4) developing of a variety of materials related to the national water programs’ response to climate change. 

Qualifications:

Applicants should have received a bachelor’s degree or higher in a biological or physical science, engineering, or environmental policy within the past four years or completion of all requirements for the degree should be expected prior to the starting date.  Climate change experience and knowledge are preferred for this position.

The program is open to all qualified individuals without regard to race, sex, religion, color, age, physical or mental disability, national origin, or status as a Vietnam era or disabled veteran. U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent resident status is preferred (but can also hold an appropriate visa status, however, an H1B visa is not appropriate). The intern must show proof of health and medical insurance. The intern does not become an EPA employee.

The appointment will initially be full-time for one year and may be renewed for up to three additional years depending on funding; the annual stipend will start at about $42,000.
