Job Description
WHO WE ARE
At the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) our work is about protecting Michigan’s environment and that work spans research, monitoring, regulation, education, and community engagement. We are equally passionate about creating a positive, professional, and supportive work environment where we value our differences and are committed to being open and respectful of all our employees and the public we serve.
We offer internships for students interested in learning more about environmental positions at the state level while gaining meaningful professional experiences. The intern will work directly with staff and executives on key environmental issues in a variety of capacities throughout the department.
WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE:
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy Drinking Water and Environmental Health Division (EGLE DWEHD) and the Michigan PFAS Action Response Team (MPART) have accumulated a wealth of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) data from sampling water wells from across Michigan, during compliance monitoring and investigations related to PFAS contamination.
This project would involve
Analyzing PFAS incidence data as a function of well depth
Identifying any potential correlations related to shallow drinking water wells
PFAS incidence data would be utilized alongside publicly available online water well information to do analysis and additional factors will be considered. (Water quality, geological substrata, well construction materials, and others)
This internship isfully remote, however interns are expected to pick up and set up their EGLE issued equipment at a physical EGLE district office.
Interns are expected to work a minimum of 15 hours per week and can work up to 40 hours per week. Days and times of work will be coordinated around the student’s academic schedule and the needs of EGLE’s Environmental Health and Safety Team
