Job Posting: Eastern Research Group

Job posting:

Eastern Research Group, Inc. (ERG) is hiring paid interns to support an onsite project being conducted at the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) in Atlanta. The work will involve data entry for an important environmental health investigation being conducted by ATSDR, and those we hire must have a keen eye for detail, familiarity with reviewing and interpreting environmental sampling data (preferably groundwater, air, and/or soil vapor), and strong working knowledge of Microsoft Excel. Database management skills are also very desirable.

Candidates must have a B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in environmental engineering, chemical engineering, environmental public health, earth and atmospheric sciences, mechanical engineering, or related field. Positions are open to graduates and graduate students. We expect the work to start in the May-June time frame and to continue for at least one year. Ideally, candidates will be able to work full-time for the duration of the project, but other schedules will be considered (e.g., full-time during the summer and part-time during the school year). Compensation will be commensurate with experience, starting at $20/hour.

All work on this project will be conducted at the ATSDR campus, and thus, all hired employees must undergo a background check to obtain a security clearance prior to starting work. This is an excellent opportunity for students to see first-hand the scientific processes that ATSDR goes through when evaluating the public health implications of exposure to environmental contamination.

Employees for this project must be selected no later than February 20, so please forward your cover letter and resume immediately to William Morgan (William.Morgan@erg.com). Any inquiries about the project should also be sent to Mr. Morgan via e-mail.
