The Environmental Law Institute, a nonprofit research and education 
center in Washington, D.C., seeks individuals to conduct research on 
natural resource protection and pollution prevention. Interns work 
directly with staff attorneys, scientists and economists on a variety of 
projects. Substantive areas of focus include: land use policy, public 
participation in environmental regulation, biodiversity, air quality, 
public health, hazardous waste and brownfields, wetlands and watershed 
policy, international environmental policy, environmental management 
systems, and environmental enforcement. Interns conduct library and 
Internet research, attend and report on outside events, review and 
summarize scholarly material, assist with preparation for environmental 
training courses, conduct telephone interviews, and perform various 
administrative tasks. Positions are available throughout the academic 
year (minimum 15 hours/week) and during the summer (full-time). 
Candidates should possess superior research, writing, and interpersonal 
communication skills, as well as a strong desire to gain knowledge of the 
environmental field. A strong academic background is required, but 
specific environmental experience is not mandatory. Applicants must have 
completed the freshman year of college. Compensation is not available, 
but a small transportation stipend is provided. To apply, send a cover 
letter explaining interest and availability, resume (include overall 
GPA), and a 3-5 page analytical writing sample to Heidi Hallman, 
Director, Research Intern Program, at the above address.
