Are you looking to protect the night sky and camp at one of the darkest spots in the Mojave? The Mojave Desert Land Trust MDLT has just the internship for you!
Women In Science Discovering Our Mojave – or WISDOM – is an internship for women in conservation and environmental studies, and they are looking for motivated and scientifically-minded interns to help document some of the continent’s last remaining dark night skies.
This paid internship begins August 16th and will continue through February of next year.
Through the fall and winter, MDLT will continue a research project in Mojave Trails National Monument. Interns will participate in dark night sky photography, taking measurements and field notes, analyzing data, and camping and driving throughout the vast Mojave Desert. We will be updating night measurement data points within the western portion of the monument to measure the health of the desert’s night sky.
The MDLT says they welcome applications from women of all backgrounds, particularly those underrepresented within conservation work. Interns must be prepared for night-time desert camping and long periods of stationary observation.
If you are Interested, submit a resume and cover letter by July 19th at mdlt.org/internship-opportunities
