Watershed internships available

REGION — The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is inviting college students to apply for one of 21 summer internships at offices throughout the watershed. The vast majority of these opportunities are paid internships in the fields related to science and engineering. Those accepted into the summer internship program will have the chance to work alongside scientists, engineers, planners and other professionals who help run the water supply for the largest city in the United States.

“Our summer internship program is a great opportunity for college students to explore their field of study by working alongside world-class engineers and scientists who operate, maintain and protect New York City’s water supply,” DEP Commissioner Emily Lloyd said. “I encourage college students from the watershed and surrounding regions to apply for these excellent internships.”

The intern positions available include summer work associated with upstate water quality laboratories, water quality field operations, engineering, wastewater facilities, community water connections, wildlife biology, natural resources, stormwater management, and science and research. The internships are located at DEP’s offices in Delaware, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester counties. Applications are due by April 1.
