Undergraduate Opportunities
Opportunities at Lake Champlain Sea Grant
- Lake Champlain Sea Grant Scholars Program
-
The mission of Lake Champlain Sea Grant is to develop and share science-based knowledge to benefit the environment and economies. We offer a 13-month Sea Grant Scholars program for undergraduate students interested in the sciences and related fields. Scholars receive a one-year academic scholarship to offset costs of education and expenses, a paid summer internship, and ongoing professional development opportunities.
This program is active for 2024-25 and on hold pending available funding for future years.
- Watershed Educator Internship
-
Watershed Alliance aims to increase awareness and knowledge of watershed issues in the Lake Champlain Basin (both in NY and VT). Each spring and fall we hire a cohort of undergraduate students, known as Watershed Educators, who are actively looking to gain experience educating K-12 students about water resources and watershed education. Watershed Educators receive training in stream ecology, watershed science and teaching science as inquiry. They learn important group management skills that are applicable both in the field and classroom. These skills are then used to teach K-12 students about our watershed out on our research vessel, at local stream sites, or in classrooms across the state (mileage is reimbursed for travel).
- Science Communications Internship
-
Work with Lake Champlain Sea Grant communications staff and peers to develop public-facing educational materials such as brochures, fact sheets, news articles, videos, and social media campaigns on issues such as:
- water quality
- aquatic food web dynamics
- microplastics
- flood resiliency
- green infrastructure
- K12 watershed education
Apply for this position on JobX. Eligibility is dependent on work-study status.
