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.
