NPS Geoscientists-In-the-Parks (GIP) Program
Do you want to work in a National Park?
The National Park Service (NPS) is looking for students and professionals in the geosciences and other natural resource fields who want to use their natural resource science expertise to help the NPS to better understand and manage its natural resources.
The Geoscientists-in-the-Parks (GIP) program works with partners to match college students and recent graduates age 18 - 35 years old with short-term, paid, internships with the National Park Service. Participants may assist with research, synthesis of scientific literature, geologic mapping, GIS analysis, site evaluations, resource inventorying and monitoring, impact mitigation, developing brochures and informative media presentations, and educating park staff and park visitors. GIP positions can last from 3 months to one-year.
Participants selected for the GIP program have a unique opportunity to contribute to the conservation of America's national parks.
Parks benefit from a participant's knowledge and skills in geological or other natural resource science field, while participants gain valuable work experience by working with the National Park Service. Program participants must be 18 - 35 years old and a U.S. citizen or permanent legal resident.
GIP positions for summer, 2016, will be posted in early January, 2016. Check this page for frequent updates. Sign up for the GIP E-News email list to get notices when positions are posted.
