The SAL provides paid employment opportunities for students seeking to complement their academic studies through project experience. All work at the SAL is paid and students can expect to work directly with leadership and staff to fulfill real-world projects under professional mentorship and guidance. As part of the team students gain hands-on experience in GIS, UAS, and related fields, developing technical and collaborative skills that serve them well in subsequent work and school environments. Students from any major or discipline are encouraged to explore opportunities with the SAL.
Student employment can range from manually correcting land cover datasets in ArcGIS to LiDAR data preparation for automated feature extraction to assisting with a UAS mapping project in the field. The SAL's Geospatial Mapping Team offers internships in the fall, spring, and summer, with options to participate for academic credit or without credit. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. See the Position Description for more details on how to apply. Contact Nina Safavi (nsafavi@uvm.edu) with any questions. Other open positions will be listed on the web page as they are available.
