[Plsugs] FW: WRRC Summer Internship Opportunity in Tucson

[Tanya Quist]

The WRRC is now accepting applications for the 2012 Montgomery & Associates
Summer Writing Internship at the WRRC 

The University of Arizona's Water Resources Research Center is offering a
summer internship to a student interested in gaining experience writing
about environmental and water issues.  The internship is supported by
Montgomery & Associates, an Arizona-based consulting firm specializing in
hydrology and water resource issues. The selected intern will contribute to
research and writing for an issue of Arroyo, the annual WRRC publication
that focuses on a critical Arizona water issue. Arroyo is recognized as
source of objective, accurate and understandable information and reaches a
wide audience that includes policy makers and water professionals as well as
the interested public.  

The topic selected for the 2013 Arroyo is water contaminants of emerging
concern. 
Enrolled students in good standing at the University of Arizona, Arizona
State University, and Northern Arizona University are eligible. The intern
will work 20-25 hours per week during June and July, at a rate of $10.00 to
$14.00 per hour depending on experience.
 
The intern will work at the WRRC offices in Tucson.  The successful
applicant will be responsible for his/her own accommodations.
