About the Position:
Dr. Vincent and Lois Schaefer established the Schaefer Internship "to introduce

sample a wide variety of nature study."
This internship is within the Conservation & Community Education department and

Primary Responsibilities and Expectations:
The 2025 Schaefer Research Internship at the Daniel Smiley Research Center 
provides an opportunity to work with Preserve research staff, scientists, and 
land managers on:

  *   Forest vegetation assessment (composition, structure, regeneration, 
overall health)
  *   Invasive species (insect and plant) surveys
  *   Phenology observations
  *   Assessing vegetation impact from white-tailed deer browse
  *   Grassland bird surveys
  *   Detailed data collection & management
The selected intern will develop an individualized research project, complete a 
written report, and present their findings in an oral presentation at the end 
of the summer.

Desired Skills and Experience:

  *   Students currently enrolled in their sophomore or junior years of college 
(or equivalent credit hours) who are majoring in Biology, Ecology, Geology, 
Environmental Studies/Science, or related natural science majors.
  *   Must be able to provide personal gear for the day (rain gear, appropriate 
clothing, hiking boots).
  *   Capable (and enthusiastic!) to occasionally walk several miles in a given 
day carrying a backpack over uneven terrain in potentially adverse field 
conditions (biting insects, rain, heat, humidity, etc.)
