The internship projects may occur in national parks or program offices and are designed by National Park Service (NPS) staff to meet high-priority needs of parks and programs. General topic areas include resource conservation and adaptation; climate effects monitoring; park facilities adaptation; policy development; sustainable operations & mitigation; and communication, interpretation, or education.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Interns in 2015 will work on a wide variety of projects available, including: monitoring ocean acidification and intertidal biological communities; supporting a multidisciplinary science team working to respond to and mitigate the impacts of climate change to archaeological resources; developing a predictive model of snow patches likely to contain significant archaeological and/or paleoecological materials; conducting field surveys to determine plant community shifts and diversity changes in response to soil moisture change; developing strategies for how to incorporate climate change adaptation and storm preparedness options into the rehabilitation of historic structures; and creating a web-based template for communicating climate change information to the public.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Internship positions run full-time (40 hours/week) for 11-12 weeks, generally during the summer months. They pay $14/hour plus benefits. Interns are employees of the University of Washington. Most positions come with free or subsidized housing in dormitories or other shared accommodations in parks. They are all rigorous and challenging projects that demand high-level academic knowledge and skills and that afford interns with considerable autonomy and opportunity for leadership under an effective mentor.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;line-height:16.866666793823242px">For more information and to apply to the 2015 YLCC internship program, please visit <a href="http://parksclimateinterns.org/" style="color:purple" target="_blank">parksclimateinterns.org</a><u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;line-height:16.866666793823242px"><b>The application deadline for the 2015 YLCC Internship Program is 12:01 pm PST, Friday, January 30, 2015.</b><u></u><u></u></p><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">For questions about the overall internship program or a specific internship opportunity, contact:<u></u><u></u></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Timothy Watkins<u></u><u></u></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Science and Education Coordinator, NPS Climate Change Response Program<u></u><u></u></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Email: <a href="mailto:climate_change@nps.gov" style="color:purple" target="_blank">climate_change@nps.gov</a> (Please include the word “internship” in the subject line of your email.)<u></u><u></u></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">For technical questions or comments about the application process or the website, please contact:<u></u><u></u></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Adrienne Karpov<u></u><u></u></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">YLCC Program Manager<u></u><u></u></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Email: <a href="mailto:ylcc@uw.edu" style="color:purple" target="_blank">ylcc@uw.edu</a><u></u><u></u></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;line-height:16.866666793823242px"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;line-height:16.866666793823242px">The George Melendez Wright Young Leaders in Climate Change (YLCC) internship program is funded and sponsored by the <a href="http://www.nature.nps.gov/climatechange/" title="NPS Climate Change Response Program" style="color:purple" target="_blank">National Park Service (NPS) Climate Change Response Program</a> and managed by the <a href="http://coenv.washington.edu/" title="College of the Environment" style="color:purple" target="_blank">University of Washington College of the Environment</a>.<u></u><u></u></p><div><br></div><div><font style="font-size:15px" face="Calibri">Best regards,</font></div><div><font style="font-size:15px" face="Calibri">Adrienne</font></div><div><font style="font-size:15px" face="Calibri"><br></font></div><div><font style="font-size:15px" face="Calibri"></font></div></div></div><br><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><div><font style="font-size:15px" face="Calibri"></font></div></div><div>
