Internship: Eastern Research Group
Job Posting:
Eastern Research Group, Inc. (ERG) is hiring paid interns
to support an onsite project being conducted at the Agency for Toxic Substances
and Disease Registry (ATSDR) in Atlanta. The work will involve data entry for
an important environmental health investigation being conducted by ATSDR, and
those we hire must have a keen eye for detail, familiarity with reviewing and
interpreting environmental sampling data (preferably groundwater, air, and/or
soil vapor), and strong working knowledge of Microsoft Excel. Database
management skills are also very desirable.
Candidates must have a B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in
environmental engineering, chemical engineering, environmental public health,
earth and atmospheric sciences, mechanical engineering, or related field.
Positions are open to graduates and graduate students. We expect the work to
start in the August-September time frame and to last until June 30, 2016.
Ideally, candidates will be able to work full-time for the duration of the
project, but other schedules will be considered (e.g., part-time during the
school year). Compensation will be commensurate with experience, starting at
$20/hour.
All work on this project will be conducted at the ATSDR
campus, and thus, all hired employees must undergo a background check to obtain
a security clearance prior to starting work. This is an excellent opportunity
to see first-hand the scientific processes that ATSDR goes through when
evaluating the public health implications of exposure to environmental
contamination.
Employees for this project must be selected no later than
July 29, so please forward your cover letter and resume as soon as
possible to Will Morgan (William.Morgan@erg.com).
Any inquiries about the project should also be sent via e-mail.
