The Great Lakes Climate Corps (GLCC) is hiring dozens of full-time seasonal employees for the 2026 summer field season. GLCC is a program administered by the Superior Watershed Partnership (SWP), a non-profit located in Marquette, MI. GLCC crews work and camp as a team of 4 young adults on projects primarily located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, with some projects extending regionally. Crew Leaders and Members partner with Tribal, federal, state, and local professionals to accomplish a wide variety of projects including tree planting, trail building, forest management, coastal restoration, invasive species treatment, stormwater management, wildfire risk reduction, e-waste and scrap tire recycling, and training for natural disaster response.
Additionally, GLCC is hiring three “specialty crews” who will focus on single projects for the summer including crews who assist Keweenaw Bay Indian Community’s Natural Resource Dept., perform forestry and trail work with the Ottawa National Forest, and accomplish wildfire risk evaluations/treatments.
Please feel free to share these employment opportunities with your students and recent graduates! I invite you to use the attached slide in your lectures and share the attached job description poster with colleagues who may also have interested students.

Paid Summer Undergraduate Internships in Geodesy!
APPLICATION DEADLINE: February 15, 2026 5 PM Eastern Time
What is Geodesy?
Geodesy is the study of the Earth’s shape, size, orientation, and gravity. Measurements of these parameters are used to determine precise coordinates of points on Earth and track how those points move over time. Modern geodesy uses tools such as high-precision GPS/GNSS*, satellite-based radar, and land- and airborne laser scanning systems to improve our understanding of a wide range of topics including road building and construction, management of crop planting, navigation, earthquake and volcanic hazards, and sea level rise.
Geodesy draws from a number of other fields including math, physics, geology, environmental science, computer science, and engineering and opens pathways to a variety of careers in government, academia, and private industry.
*GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is a general term for all global satellite positioning systems. GPS is the global satellite positioning system run by the United States.
Who should apply for the internships?
- Current undergraduate students who have completed at least two semesters of college before the internship start, are in good academic standing, and are interested in learning more about geodesy and its applications, geophysics, mapping, and programming
- This year we are looking for students who have prior experience in geophysics, programming, and/or higher mathematics (geodesy experience is not required)
- Potential interns should be available to participate in-person at MSU for 8 weeks between early June and late July (no remote participation is available)
- Potential interns must be already authorized to work in the US (we cannot sponsor visas for these positions)
What can you expect from the internship?
- Participate in a geodesy bootcamp that will provide a solid foundation of geodesy background, techniques, and tools.
- Work with a faculty mentor to develop and carry out a meaningful research project.
- Learn about educational opportunities and career paths in geodesy through presentations by MSU and outside geodesy professionals
- Create a research poster for their project and present their results at the Mid-Michigan Symposium for Undergraduate Research Experiences
What are some possible research projects?
- Evaluating time varying surface deformation in Alaska
- Building and testing plate motion models for eastern Russia and Alaska
- Developing automated tools to set up and run earthquake models that use geodetic data
- Investigating how seasonal hydrologic changes influence GNSS data in Africa
- And other possibilities depending on student interest and experience
What are the benefits of the internship?
Besides learning more about geodesy and gaining research experience, interns will receive the following:
- A stipend of $7000 for the 8-week internship period
- Round-trip travel between your home and East Lansing
- You’ll arrange your own housing, but we will have suggestions for you
How do you apply for the internship?
You’ll need to submit the following:
- CV/Resume
- Coursework Transcripts (Unofficial is fine)
- 1-2 page essay discussing research/academic interests, any research and/or work experience, and what you hope to get out of the internship.
- One letter of support (from someone familiar with your academic background or work experience).
CV, Transcripts, and Research essay should be sent to THIS EMAIL
Letter Writers should send Letter of Support directly to Dr. Julie Elliott at email above.
