Hello Ecologgers, I am a senior in environmental science and management at the University of Rhode Island graduating in May. I have not applied to any graduate programs yet as I plan to take some time off before continuing my academic career, but I have applied to a number of temporary and permanent field positions and internships. I spent the first half of my undergraduate program as a chemical engineering major and therefore have a strong computational background. Studying in fields such as hydrology and land use has sparked an interest to pursue a job/internship that combines environmental science with engineering. I have work/academic experience both in conducting scientific research and in construction. Specifically, if anyone could offer any advice or contacts as to where to find opportunities in low impact development, renewable/clean energy development, or passive solar/geothermal development, it would be greatly appreciated by someone eager to make his next career move. For anyone interested I would be glad to provide a resume complete with cover letter and references.
Thanks, Joshua Burgoyne University of Rhode Island
