Job Description

For five decades, the Environmental Law Institute (ELI) has played a pivotal role in shaping the fields of environmental law, policy, and management, both domestically and internationally.

ELI is hiring interns to support the research and publications departments of the Institute. Interns work directly with staff attorneys, editors, scientists, and policy analysts on a variety of projects. Substantive areas of focus in local, regional, federal, and international policy and law include: climate change, green technology, land use, biodiversity, air quality, public health, hazardous waste and brownfields, wetlands and watersheds, armed conflict and the environment, environmental management systems, public participation, environmental justice, Indigenous issues, and environmental enforcement.

ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP

Interns conduct in-depth secondary and primary research, attend and report on outside events, analyze, edit, and synthesize scholarly material, assist with preparation for environmental training courses, and provide limited administrative support. ELI integrates interns into the day-to-day operations of the Institute, and interns are encouraged to attend ELI-sponsored workshops, seminars, roundtable, and other events. In addition, interns will develop and complete an independent research project under the guidance of ELI staff.

QUALIFICATIONS

Eligibility is limited to students enrolled in an undergraduate program who have at least completed their first year of college. Applicants are ineligible if they graduate from college/university before or during this summer 2025 internship.
Candidates should possess superior research, writing, and interpersonal communication skills, as well as a deep desire to gain knowledge of the environmental field.
A strong academic background is required, but specific environmental experience is not.
Candidates should demonstrate self-awareness, cultural competency and inclusivity, the ability to work with colleagues and stakeholders across diverse cultures and backgrounds, and the willingness to learn new digital tools.
