Acadia Partners is looking for college students interested in a summer internship as roving science reporters covering research and other natural, cultural, and social science activities at parks within the Northeast Region of the National Park Service (NPS).
Interns will work with staff from Acadia Partners and the NPS to create reports and summaries of research projects and science programs conducted at Acadia National Park and other parks in the region. This work will involve reading scientific reports, working with researchers and staff (including participating in fieldwork) to clarify details and focus, writing summaries, editing images, creating graphics, and designing layouts for online and print publications. Interns will also be asked to author and maintain a regular weblog about their observations and insights on science and nature in the parks they visit. The purpose of this work is to expand and increase the visibility of the various science activities taking place at Acadia National Park and the other New England park units. In addition, this work will provide the interns with the opportunity to work with professional scientists, researchers, and NPS staff, learn about science and nature in the northeast, and gain science writing, publication design, and journalistic experience.
Applicants must be college students with excellent writing skills in addition to a strong science background and basic computer proficiency. Candidates with coursework or field experience in the natural, physical, or environmental sciences will be more competitive. Comprehensive knowledge of Abode Creative Suite programs (In Design, Illustrator, and Photoshop) used to create briefs is not necessary; however, candidates with previous experience using these programs will be more competitive.
A complete description of the position, along with application instructions, is available on our website.
