Internship applications for the 2026 Summer Semester are being accepted now!
If you are fearless, hardworking, engaging, and want to achieve, we invite you to apply for an internship position in our 2026 Summer Internship Program (Internship Program). We are seeking to build a multidisciplinary team of candidates from science and engineering backgrounds with knowledge in hydrogeology, ecology, chemistry, biology, environmental science and data analytics/geographic information systems, and other relevant disciplines to support our 2026 Internship Project Assignment.
Recent graduates, graduate students, and undergraduate students in the summer immediately preceding expected graduation are eligible for our Internship Program. Up to eight candidates will be selected as interns to participate in the Project Assignment. A multidisciplinary team will be selected with representation in each of the following disciplines/majors:?

• Environmental Sciences: Includes candidates for a degree in geology, biology, ecology, environmental chemistry, natural resources management, or other related environmental sciences.

• Engineering: Includes candidates for a degree in any engineering discipline, with preference for study in water resources, environmental, civil, chemical, or industrial/process engineering.

• Environmental Data Analytics: Includes candidates with focused study and practical experience in spatial data analysis (e.g., geographic information systems [GIS]), environmental data analytics/management, or applied statistics (particularly in R).

The Internship Program runs for 10 weeks from June 8 through August 14, 2026, and involves predominantly remote work. Interns will be required to commit to a minimum of 40 hours of work per week throughout the Internship Program; work will be completed through independent and collaboration-based assignments. As part of the Internship Program, interns will be required to collaborate in-person for three, 1-week group sessions at a dedicated workspace in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In-person weeks will be the first, middle, and last week of the 10-week program. This is a paid internship opportunity, and accommodations will be arranged for candidates not living in the immediate Philadelphia region.
INTERNSHIP PROJECT ASSIGNMENT?
The Project Assignment entails a multidisciplinary, regional-scale assessment of a major urban waterway in the US. Land-use changes and urban revitalization are placing a greater focus on the opportunities that these areas can provide to society and ecological functions. The primary objective of the regional-scale waterway assessment is to define the potential sources and pathways of chemical and physical stressors to the urban waterway that may be impacting human health and ecological receptors. The work will determine the state of knowledge regarding historical and current environmental conditions within the waterway and its surrounding watershed and, in the context of future urban planning/development, predict the future societal demands. The findings of the assessment will be used to define the scope of future investigations and potential management/development options to support future remediation and restoration of ecological and societal functions.
The project team will leverage historical data and reports prepared by industry and government agencies, current and historical infrastructure information, peer-reviewed literature studies, and high-resolution imagery to identify the potential contributions to and impacts on each river system. Analytical data and spatial information to support the assessment will be integrated into a comprehensive geospatial database to facilitate analyses at spatial scales ranging from individual sites to watershed-level assessments. As part of the analysis, preliminary conceptualization of linkages between sites and impacts to the target waterway will be developed. Team members will have the opportunity to explore forensic and statistical analysis techniques to further correlate the linkages between sites and waterway impacts.
A full Project Assignment description will be provided to interested candidates upon receipt of a complete application package. Interested applicants are required to submit the following to be considered for the 2026 Internship Program:

1. A cover letter with an expression of interest and a statement of qualifications for consideration in the Internship Program.

1. A current resume reflecting academic research experience or work experience that is relevant to your performance in the Internship Program.

1. A copy of your current transcript that reflects your completed coursework and performance to date in your program of study. Unofficial transcripts will be accepted.

Following a review of complete application packages, select candidates will be invited to interview for the program. Applicants failing to submit any of the required components of the application package will not be considered for an interview.
Complete application packages must be submitted by January 18, 2026. Interviews of select candidates will be conducted in February and the selection of successful candidates is anticipated in March 2026.
We look forward to engaging with you and encourage you to apply today!
