Now accepting applications for the 2024 UC Davis TERC Internships for Scholars Program

The UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center (TERC) has conducted research and monitoring of Lake Tahoe for over 50 years. Our Summer Internship program offers undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to be a part of the research tradition. TERC Interns will work as part of a team to conduct science research and to complete a specific project that will contribute meaningfully to the mission of TERC. As part of the eight-week internship there will be weekly group meetings, seminars from environmental managers and scientists, instruction on lab and field safety, opportunities to explore Lake Tahoe and its surroundings, and a capstone presentation of research results to a public audience. Interns engage with and learn from environmental leaders in the Tahoe community and have the opportunity to attend the Annual Lake Tahoe Federal Summit, where State and Federal elected leaders convene at Lake Tahoe.

Specific research topics will be developed with mentors, but could include areas such as lake biology, microplastics, temperature stratification, lake nutrients, forest ecology, and science communication.
