Good morning!

The GIS Internship for my group at Oak Ridge National Lab was approved!  The deadline for students to apply is February 15, 2023.  These approvals and program information materials were just completed during the holidays, so I hope that you will be able to help me by distributing this information even with students away on break or immediately upon their return. 

Our GIS position falls under the Technical and Professional Internship (TPI) category.  I have attached a recruitment flyer produced by the ORNL Mentoring department.  Also attached is the detailed description of the TPI posting which students will see when they apply on the website listed below.  The scope of intern assignments at ORNL is very broad, as you can imagine, so there are not specifics on the flyer about my GIS position.  The ORNL Internship program operates on a blind application – students apply not really knowing the specific job.  On my side, when I see a resume of interest submitted through the website, I will choose some students for interviews and give a description of work at that point.  Then once an offer is made they have 10 days to accept it. 

Key points:

• Must apply through this website:  https://education.ornl.gov/technical-and-professional-internship-program/
• Deadline to Apply:  February 15, 2023 by 5PM EST
• Dates for internship:  May 22, 2023 through July 28, 2023  
• For this GIS position, the Discipline is Earth and Geosciences (I can’t see what the application looks like for students but they may be asked to select a discipline or area of interest.)
• Previous knowledge of Esri ArcGIS software is required, students should specify on their resume
• This GIS Internship will be in the Facilities & Operations Directorate, Utilities Division where Esri software is relied on to disseminate information on 8 different utility distribution systems including Potable Water, Sewer, Stormwater, Steam, Natural Gas, Compressed Air, Chilled Water and Electrical.  No prior knowledge of Utilities is required.

Please let me know if there are any questions.  They should not send resumes to me, they must apply through the website above, but if there are questions about the process let me know.  {Feel free to tell other professors in Technical programs (Engineering, Computer Science, Business, Communications/Graphics Design, etc.) at UTK about this TPI website for internships – ORNL will be hiring several students in many different fields of study.  Right now I only see 5 applications submitted by students for all areas!}    

 

Thanks!

Janna
