|# USGS is hiring UG students for Summer 2025
The ESA-USGS Cooperative Summer Fellowship Program is seeking undergraduate students who have strong preparation in biological field research. We are particularly interested in providing opportunities for students for whom an internship is a unique opportunity, and could help propel them toward a professional path in field-based science.
Selected applicants will be offered internships at available field, laboratory, or office related scientific positions throughout the country for up to 5 months. USGS places interns wherever the project scientists need them. Some internships may be conducted remotely.
Students may ONLY be nominated by faculty who teach or direct field courses or field programs equivalent to 40 hours of biological field research training or other qualifying course or program. Students must be US citizens and be undergraduate students at the time of nomination. You may nominate up to two students who participated in your field course/program. Both students should have completed the SAME course or program which you direct or have taught.
ESA and USGS are committed to diversity and inclusion. We especially encourage field course and program directors to nominate students from underrepresented communities in ecology.
