| Aspect | Internship Geoscience Intern | Geoscience Technician |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Typically pursuing or recent graduate of a geology or earth sciences program | Usually requires an associate or bachelor's degree in geology, earth sciences, or related field |
| Work Environment | Primarily educational, supervised, and training-focused; often in field or lab settings | More hands-on fieldwork and data collection, often in remote or outdoor locations |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Internships offered by universities, government agencies, or companies for training purposes | Full-time or part-time roles in mining, oil & gas, environmental consulting, and research firms |
The main difference is that an Internship Geoscience Intern is a training position aimed at students or recent graduates gaining experience, while a Geoscience Technician is a more experienced role involving active fieldwork and data collection. Interns typically work under supervision, whereas technicians perform more independent tasks in the geoscience industry.

If you love using innovative technology to tackle tough science problems and working in a fast-paced, results-oriented team environment, keep reading to learn more about the Strayos Applied Scientist internship opportunity.
Here at Strayos, we use advanced computer vision and machine learning on images and machine sensors data to build insights for Mining, Infrastructure and Construction industry. Our applied science team uses these datasets to better understand our customers critical business operations and how it is changing. We are seeking three exceptional students with experience interpreting and processing imagery to join our applied science team during a three-month internship based at Strayos' headquarters in Buffalo, WNY.
Over the course of this internship, you will work directly with our dynamic team of applied scientists who can share their deep knowledge of machine learning, remote sensing, geoscience, and physics. As an intern, you will learn how to implement novel, cutting-edge remote sensing and machine learning techniques to solve challenging research questions. To efficiently execute your solutions, you will access the Strayos' imagery archive and cloud-computing resources, and receive mentorship from one of our applied scientists. At the end of the internship, you will present your findings to the broader applied science team and learn more about future career opportunities at Strayos.
