Student Position - US Geological Survey

Location New Hampshire

Description Student Position to Assist the US Geological Survey, Summer 2008

The US Geological Survey in collaboration with the NH Department of Environmental Services and Geological Survey is near completion of a series of multi-year studies to assess water demand and availability in the Seacoast region of New Hampshire. These studies have been technical in nature, and now need to be made understandable and useful by the user community. The user community includes a wide audience, but the most important users are considered to be local and regional planners and officials that are part of local government (selectmen, mayors, planning boards and conservation commission members) and regional planning commissions. These officials and planners need to be able to understand the technical aspects of the studies and how they can use the resulting data and conclusions in helping to manage current and future water supplies in the region. Other users include water utilities, water engineers and consultants, other natural resource professionals, watershed associations, and interested public.

The student will work with staff of the USGS and NHDES/NHGS to produce a informational document that will ultimately be printed and distributed to the user audience. The student is expected to complete a high-quality draft of the document by the end of their summer employment. Staff will work primarily in the USGS office in Pembroke NH, but will also spend time at NHGS offices, and will be able to work remotely as needed. The student will also visit with local and regional planning officials in the Seacoast region so that the product from this effort will be meaningful and valuable to the intended audience.

The student should have an understanding of water resource terms and issues, especially with regard to water use and ground waters. The student is expected to have good communication (vocal and

writing) skills, be able to work independently at times, as well feel comfortable working with a wide range of professionals and individuals.

The hourly salary ranges from $15.42 (GS-5, step

1) to $24.82 (GS-7, step 10) depending upon graduate degree and experience.
