Position Overview

The Geohydrology Section of the Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) at the University of Kansas (KU) invites applications for multiple KGS Geohydrology Summer Research Assistantship positions for the summer of 2025. The positions are available for upper-level undergraduates, recent graduates, or graduate students with an interest in interdisciplinary water science, including biogeochemistry, ecohydrology, and hydrogeology. Established in 1997, positions in the KGS summer internship program have been held by students from a variety of institutions across the US and abroad. Many past participants have co-authored articles or conference presentations based on the summer work, and students would be encouraged to continue work on projects as part of an undergraduate or graduate thesis following the conclusion of the internship if interested.

About the KGS | Kansas Geological Survey (ku.edu)

In 2025, we anticipate hiring between 2-4 interns. Interns can apply for one of two tracks:

• Ecohydrology Track (led by Sam Zipper): These interns will conduct research on the characterization and analysis of groundwater and surface water resources, and interactions between water resources, ecosystems, and society. Projects on this track will primarily be data science and modeling-focused.
• Biogeochemistry Track (led by Erin Seybold): These interns will conduct research focused on understanding the drivers of groundwater and surface water quality in various settings. This may include collecting and analyzing water quality samples, working with high-frequency water quality sensor networks, and synthesizing and analyzing long-term water quality data. Projects on this track may include both lab work and data science approaches.

Interns in both tracks will work closely with collaborating KGS scientists, staff, and students to complete summer research projects that meet project needs and align with intern career goals and interests. While the interns will specialize in one of these two tracks, they will have opportunities to work together and with other students to gain interdisciplinary experience and exposure to a variety of methods.

The University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) is pleased to announce the 2025 UNOLS-MATE MARINE TECHNICAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

APPLICATION DEADLINE: MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 2025

This is an incredible opportunity to work onboard research vessels at-sea and in the shipyard, and be exposed to a wide range of marine technologies, equipment and marine technical professionals.

Internship Description: The U.S. Academic Research Fleet of UNOLS-designated research ships will host 1 long-term (approximately 6 months) and 12-14 short-term (2-12 weeks each) marine technical internships in 2025. Departure dates will depend on the schedule of each research cruise. We will first select candidates for internships starting in Winter, Spring, and then in Summer and Fall. Applications will stay on file the entire year until all positions have been filled.

The selected interns will work with marine technicians and other crew members on shore and at sea and learn how to operate and maintain a variety of scientific and navigational equipment in support of shipboard scientific research. The program will pay a stipend of $600 per week plus airfare, lodging and other approved travel expenses. Interns will work, eat, and sleep aboard the research vessel, and be provided lodging and a meal plan off ship as needed. Internship projects will vary from one hosting organization to another and correspond to the objectives set by each specific cruise mission. Shipboard sleeping arrangements vary vessel to vessel. Previous interns have worked on cruises to support science projects ranging from chemical oceanography to marine biology, seafloor mapping surveys, geological studies, ROV missions, and much more! Many successful internships have resulted in job offers. Please email Maria Osiadacz, Program Manager, maria@unols.org, with questions about the program and life aboard research vessels.

To apply, read the requirements listed below, prepare your documents and complete the online application:
