The Geological Society of America is looking for experienced earth science professionals and students to work with national park and forest staffs to help them understand and manage the geologic resources. Geoscience expertise is desperately needed on America's public lands. The Geological Society of America has provided internship opportunities to students since 1997 and is expanding the program.
Required qualifications vary by position.
All positions are temporary. The application deadline for positions available in 2001 has passed. Working with the Geologic Resources Division of the National Park Service and USDA Forest Service geologists, GSA is filling geoscience needs on America's public lands. The range of needs on public lands includes fundamental research, synthesis of geologic literature, mapping, inventorying, site evaluation, developing brochures and informative media presentations, and educating visitors and staff. Participating geoscientists must be members of GSA at the time of application.
