The primary internship goal is for the student to contribute to a scientifically sound sampling and data collection process for the summer 2022 field season. This includes supporting the installation, sample collection and maintenance for edge-of-field water quality monitoring equipment. The student will have the opportunity to gain work experience conducting research in irrigated agriculture and water quality monitoring as well as Extension practices.
Students will be trained and supervised consistently with the potential for independent work later in the season. All program members are treated as equals and creative input, energy and ideas are strongly encouraged. The intern will be expected to work both in a team and independently as needed. The team is focused on interns leaving with significant skill and experience in agronomic research and outreach related to water and soil. No student housing assistance provided. However, travel funds are available if travel is approved and necessary.
