Hi Bree,

MDLT is currently recruiting for our next round of WISDOM interns. If you
happen to know of any future women in STEM who may be interested, please
share this opportunity. I have attached a poster for you to share as well.

*More information about the internship: *

Women In Science Discovering Our Mojave (WISDOM) is a collaborative
internship program offered by the Mojave Desert Land Trust (MDLT) providing
femme-aligned students an opportunity to explore careers in environmental
science and receive mentorship from working professionals.
Participants are provided with field transportation, gear, and a stipend.
Interns will be conducting biodiversity surveys, or “Bio-Blitzes”,
throughout Afton Canyon through the community science platform iNaturalist.
Their observations will contribute to biodiversity data within Mojave
Trails National Monument and a global database used by scientists and
researchers. The goal of this project is to eliminate gaps in biodiversity
data on iNaturalist and other resource management systems, introduce
interns to field sampling techniques, build upon naturalist identification
skills, provide in-field experience, and educate the public about the
natural and recreational values of public lands through community science
initiatives.
Activities for this internship begin April 2025, and will include
orientation, monthly office days, monthly field days, and a final
presentation concluding in September 2025. Orientation, monthly office
days, and the final presentation will be remote. Interns will also complete
a creative project.
Reasonable accommodations will be made to enable individuals with
disabilities to perform essential functions.
Applicants must be enrolled in a higher education program or have graduated
within the past two years and have federally valid identification. All
academic majors are welcome to apply.
Application deadline: March 1, 2025
*How to apply:*
Please email your resume and a thoughtful cover letter addressing your
