The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC), funded through an award to the Universityof Maryland from the National Science Foundation, is accepting undergraduate intern and faculty mentor applications for its 2015 Summer Internship Program.
About the Program
Interns spend the majority of their time working with mentors at their offices or labs on research projects related to socio-environmental issues. Additionally, interns participate in weekly internship program events, including field trips and seminars; these events will include trips to SESYNC’s facilities in Annapolis, where interns will be introduced to the socio-environmental synthesis research approach and will have the opportunity to meet researchers at the Center.
This program aims to provide interns with opportunities to develop
professional skills, meet people working on environmental problems, and deepen their understanding ofsocio-environmental issues. More specifically, interns will:
• Obtain an authentic research experience and contribute to their mentor’s research program.
• Enhance their understanding of the complex nature of socially-relevant environmental problems and
the research approaches used to address them.
• Enhance their understanding of how scientific evidence may be used to inform decision-making and
policy with regard to environmental problems.
The internship positions are full-time (40 hours/week) from June 8–August 14, 2015. Interns will be paid$11/hour by SESYNC.
