Department of Defense: Seeking Applications for Fort Huachuca Environmental Training Program

Deadline: 20 July 2016

Department of Defense, ACC-APG-Fort Huachuca is currently inviting applications for its Fort Huachuca Environmental Training program with an aim to support environmental programs through the use of student interns. The intern program encourages the development of science, mathematics, and engineering educational programs with the focus on education and training, rather than the work product. The program provides real world training and experience for students and new graduates in the fields of cultural resources, natural resources, and compliance.

Participants will work as part of a dynamic, highly motivated team, often operating under tight time-lines to help accomplish critical Army requirements.

Funding Information

Fort Huachuca anticipates typical federal funding awards will be around $150,000 annually to fund 5 interns to include:
- Full-time cultural resources (MA level),
  - full-time natural resources (BA student),
  - half-time compliance (BA level),
- Part-time (summer) cultural resources (BA students).
- This does not limit the government from hiring additional interns, or at different stipend rates, dependent on the amount of individual intern’s stipends or budget.
