The Oregon Applied Sustainability Experience (OASE) is offering paid internships for its 10-week program this summer. The internships are open to any student in Oregon who is a junior or senior or has obtained graduate or advanced undergraduate training in business, economics, engineering, environmental science, green chemistry, physical science, or sustainability science. Projects address pollution prevention solutions for Oregon businesses and pair students with an industry mentor to gain hands-on experience in project development and management, as well as science communication to interdisciplinary audiences. Project topics include energy or water audits, toxics reduction, green chemistry, and life cycle assessment.

Application materials include a brief résumé, transcripts, and a short statement expressing your interest (how you might benefit from the opportunity and how your skills align with the project[s] of interest). More details about application requirements and the available positions are provided on our website.

For full consideration, submit your application by April 12. Applicants will be matched to the opportunities based on experience and interest areas. Program dates are June 17 through August 30, 2019; stipends and training will be provided to eligible students. Please email Valerie Stephan-LeBoeuf for more information.
