[Allison Pfeiffer]

Hi Geologists,

See below/attached for what looks like a fabulous paid summer internship opportunity in fluvial geomorphology/sedimentology, with implications for seismic hazards.

Applications are due Jan 7.

My current 310 students: this is the exact kind of opportunity I was talking about yesterday! Congratulations on reading your email. Now apply 😊

Cheers,

Allison

Dear Colleague,

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) Seismology and Geomorphology (S&G) Group based out of Lakewood, Colorado is looking to hire multiple interns for the summer of 2025 through the Technical Service Center’s internship program. The internship program is a 12-week paid program that includes involvement in project-related work, professional development activities, and facility field trips/tours. Additional benefits include a housing stipend available to out-of-area interns and eligibility to earn non-competitive hiring status — a potential pathway to direct hiring. Please reference the attached flier and pass it along to colleagues and potential student applicants! We thank you for your help.

This summer, we are seeking applicants to contribute to the following projects:
·         An in-progress ArcGIS Pro database that will be a resource for S&G’s technical reports, seismic hazard model data, and perishable field data. The database is accessed through a self-managed web-map portal.
·         A new geochronology database that will house S&G geochronology data.
·         A lacustrine paleoseismology study that will be processing and analyzing already-collected lakebed sediment cores to support an active fault investigation.
The ideal applicants will have interest or previous experience with field work, GIS software (as in ArcGIS), coding (R, Python, MATLAB, etc.), and/or laboratory skills or some combination of these focuses.

Warm Regards,
Wes von Dassow
