Career, Fellowship, Internship Information (also see Jobs page)
- Student Internship, UL Environment, San Jose,
CA. The
internship is posted at UL.com
under careers. The requisition is IRC47411, but if you search the
keyword
"toxicology" that should pull it up too. This is a good opportunity
for someone
interested in risk assessment, public health issues, and/or air
pollution. We
are developing chemical specific exposure limits and I am working on
some risk
assessment methodology for product emissions testing. Someone
considering a
career in the public sector might find this to be an exciting position
where
they can develop skills that will make them more competitive for jobs
after
graduation.
- EPA Student Summer Employment Program (http://www.epa.gov/ohr/student/)

opportunities are available within EPA for students to gain valuable

D.C., and at regional office and laboratory locations nationwide
- Student Summer Employment Program will be
used for most of our summer hiring. EPA primarily hires high school
and college students for administrative/clerical positions as well
technical positions in areas such as life sciences, program or policy
analysis, and engineering. Most summer positions have salaries
