ETOX Internships

Where can I find a list of available Internships?

Students can find out about on-campus and off-campus internship and research opportunities by using the Internship and Career Center (ICC) search engine.

The Environmental Toxicology Department submits all internship listings it receives to the ICC so that students have a central location to search (excluding ETOX lab research opportunities). 

To review the many listings (which are updated daily) visit: their website.

HINT: When searching the ICC database, do not limit yourself.  Remember, ETOX is a broad field and there are many more keywords than Environmental.  Use  the word that best describe the type of internship you want.  For example, if you wanted an internship studying pesticide use in food crops, you could use the keyword Agriculture.  Some additional ETOX keywords could include:

  • Aquaculture
  • Biological Science
  • Chemistry
  • Community Education
  • Consulting
  • Field Work
  • Government
  • Health Sciences
  • Nutrition
  • Pharmacy
  • Public Health
  • Teaching
  • Veterinary
  • Wildlife/Fisheries

Internships are an important part of the career development process because they allow one to put a potential profession to the test. An internship may confirm a career match and may even clarify specialization with a field.

Students can opt for an internship or research unit, depending on the nature of the work. Both internships and research units are variable and can only be taken pass/no pass. They are subject to the same Academic Senate Guideline for awarding credit for internships. Brief descriptions of the internship opportunities follows:

92/192: These internships provide the student an opportunity to enrich their academic preparation through professional work setting and provide the students with work experience. The academic value of the internship and the units awarded will be determined by the faculty sponsor upon completion of Form D788-1 (Request for Internship for Academic Credit) which may be obtained at the ETOX Advising Office in 4111 Meyer hall or at the Internship and Career Center on the second floor of South Hall. A CRN number will be given to the student ONLY after the student and faculty sponsor have completed the form.

99/199: Environmental Toxicology students interested in lab research should consult the Faculty Fields of Interest section of the website to determine their areas of interests and should contact the corresponding faculty member to determine if an internship in available. The academic value of research and the units awarded will be determined by the faculty sponsor upon completion of Form D574-2 (Request to Teach and Undergraduate Variable-Unit Course) which may be obtained at the ETOX Advising Office in 4111 Meyer hall or at the Internship and Career Center on the second floor of South Hall. A CRN number will be given to the student ONLY after the student and faculty sponsor have completed the form.
