[Plsugs] INTERNSHIPS - CONSERVE - Application Open Now

[Quist, Tanya M - (tquist)]

Greetings!

My name is Daphne Pee and I work on CONSERVE, a project funded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture. CONSERVE (COordinating Nontraditional Sustainable watER Use in Variable climatEs) is a Center of Excellence at the nexus of sustainable water reuse, food, and health, and a part of our project includes a summer internship program for undergraduate students studying agricultural and natural sciences, public health, engineering, economics, policy and law, spatial analysis, communications, and media production. Many of you had kindly shared our summer internship opportunities last year, so I was hoping you would consider doing so again.

I've provided text that you can forward through your various listservs. If you would prefer to post a flyer, please let me know. I’d be happy to share one with you.

If you would prefer that we no longer advertise our openings with you, please let me know and I would be happy to remove you from our list. Or if I should be sending our emails to someone else in your department, please send me the appropriate contact information and I will update our list as necessary. I will only be contacting you when we need to notify you of our internship program activity.

Thank you kindly for your time and consideration.

Best,
Daphne

****INFORMATION TO FORWARD TO STUDENTS****

CONSERVE (COordinating Nontraditional Sustainable watER Use in Variable climatEs) is a Center of Excellence at the nexus of sustainable water reuse, food, and health.  Our leading team of scientists and educators are investigating sources of nontraditional irrigation water that can provide safe, transformative on‐farm solutions for food crops and reduce the nation’s agricultural water challenges that are exacerbated by climate change. With projects located throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southwest, we are looking for undergraduate student interns to assist us in our research and education efforts.

We are currently looking for assistance on projects focusing on water quality analysis, on-farm treatment equipment testing, spatial analysis and mapping, consumer behavior and economics, educational media development, and farmer education and outreach. Find out more about our opportunities and student eligibility by going to http://conservewaterforfood.org/summer-intern-program-1.

The 8-week internship will start on June 18, 2018, ending on August 10, 2018. Interns will receive a stipend of $5,000. Students are responsible for their own lodging. We are accepting applications from now until February 23, 2018.
