The Yale Center on Climate Change and Health (YCCCH) is pleased to announce its Summer Internship Program, which matches Yale students with meaningful internships related to climate change and health research and practice. Initial applications are due Friday, January 15, 2021. You can view the internship sites/organizations here.
Eligibility:
- Returning (non-graduating) Yale School of Public Health MPH students
- Current YCCCH Student Associates
- Undergraduate Environmental Studies majors
Process:
- Stage 1: Eligible students apply to be matched with a specific internship from the list of opportunities (see link or attached PDF). To apply, send a cover letter addressed to the host organization or Dr. Laura Bozzi, YCCCH Director of Programs, that identifies your preferred project and describes the skills, experience, and perspective you would bring to the project. If there are required skills or eligibility criteria listed for that project, be sure to respond to those explicitly. With the cover letter, include an up-to-date resume/CV and a transcript (unofficial is ok). You may apply to more than one internship; to do so, you must write one cover letter per internship project. Stage 1 applications are due Friday, January 15, 2021 (11:59pm) by email to Mr. Mauro Diaz-Hernandez, YCCCH Program Administrator (mauro.diaz-hernandez@yale.edu).
- Stage 2: Those students matched with a YCCCH internship apply for funding through YCCCH and other Yale summer funding opportunities. For YCCCH funding, specific application information will be provided when notified about the internship matching outcome. Students are also expected to apply for internship funding from other sources, since not all matched internships can be funded through YCCCH.
Questions? Contact Mr. Mauro Diaz-Hernandez, YCCCH Program Administrator (mauro.diaz-hernandez@yale.edu).
Students may apply for the Summer Environmental Fellowship and other Yale Fellowships to fund this program.
