In 2025, the Washington Sea Grant Community Engaged Intern will work with the WSG Coastal Resilience Team and the Hazards Analysis and Resilience Planning Team at Washington State Emergency Management Division in supporting community-prioritized resilience efforts in coastal Washington. The intern will analyze existing data related to the community’s reported economic and social impacts from coastal hazards (e.g. damages from flooding, severe weather, and climate change risk) to identify areas of high risk and community’s priorities. This will help identify vulnerable areas that may need additional support to address coastal hazards and resilience issues.
Compensation: $6000
Location: Flexible arrangement as agreed with the mentors upon selection, with options to be in an office in Seattle, Camp Murray, or South Bend, WA. The intern is expected to attend some field trips and meet with local partners in coastal Washington with the mentors.
The intern is required to attend an all expenses paid in-person field experience from July 20-24 in North Carolina, hosted by North Carolina Sea Grant.
