VERMONT EPSCOR PAID SUMMER INTERNSHIPS

The Vermont EPSCoR Undergraduate Internship Program offers students the opportunity to participate in current research conducted through the Basin Resilience to Extreme Events (BREE) program. Undergraduates will be matched with a research team working on the transdisciplinary BREE research program. In the spring following their internship, research teams will meet at a Symposium in Vermont to share their discoveries through an oral or poster presentation of their research. Students will do full-time, authentic research for 10 weeks in one of the following areas: 

- Lake and Stream Ecology 
- Climatology 
- Water Chemistry & Microbiology 
- Soil Nutrients 
- Land Use Management 
- Environmental Policy & Management 
- Computer Programming 

Students majoring in any social science or natural science field should take a look at the 2017 project listings: http://epscor.w3.uvm.edu/2/node/3436

The range of research areas in which students may participate is quite extensive. BREE interns delve into research projects -an opportunity not often available during the academic year. Projects are markedly different from most course-based work in that they are open-ended and part of a much larger research program.We strongly encourage students from traditionally underrepresented groups, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and students from two year colleges to apply.
