Description:Summer Internships

The Nongame Conservation Section of the Georgia Dept. of Natural
Resources is offering 2 full-time internships for summer 2007. These
internships will focus primarily on sampling Georgia streams and rivers
for fishes and freshwater mussels and will provide valuable training in
sampling methods, data collection, and taxonomy. Sampling will include
snorkeling, electrofishing, and seining. Interns must be willing to
work long days (> 10 hours) under physically challenging conditions (e.g.,
hauling heavy equipment on hot days) and will frequently be required to
travel over-night. The intern must also be willing to work on other
duties as assigned (e.g., data entry, equipment maintenance) when
weather conditions or other constraints preclude sampling. Applicants
must have a valid class C driver’s license. State uniforms, lodging
(or camping equipment), travel expense reimbursement, and sampling gear
are all provided. Travel to study sites will be by state vehicle and
there are significant opportunities to carpool to our Social Circle
office from the Athens area. Individuals with an interest in fisheries
management, stream ecology, and/or ichthyology are encouraged to apply.

Duration: June 1 through August, but there may be an opportunity to
extend the internship part-time beyond August.

Salary: $10.49 per hour.
