About Ceres: Ceres is
a sustainability nonprofit organization working with the most
influential investors and companies to build leadership and drive
solutions throughout the economy. Through powerful networks and
advocacy, Ceres tackles the world’s biggest sustainability challenges,
including climate change, water scarcity and pollution, and human rights
abuses.
About our Summer Internship Program: Ceres
actively seeks to engage interns in our work. We have a number of
exciting projects going at any one time and find
the logistical, research, analysis, and writing support of interns to be
of great value. We also hope working here inspires the next generation
of professionals to "transform the economy to build a sustainable future
for people and the planet." We are looking for a mix of undergrads and
graduate students. We have positions available from Agriculture
Water Risk to Human Rights, Governance & Sustainability Disclosures,
and Food Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
Each February, Ceres advertises for our summer program. During March we conduct interviews and make placements.
Our internship program runs for 10 weeks, from June 3rd to August 9th.
Interns are expected to work full-time, M-F 9am - 5pm, in our office
(remote opportunities are not available at this time). We also require
proper work authorization, so international students would need to have
proper work visas (we are unable to sponsor these at this time). We
offer a stipend of $5,500, as well as provide a local commuter pass
(MBTA in Boston, BART in San Francisco). We hire around 10-15 summer
interns each year, and in addition to contributing work on important
projects for their teams, they participate in planned events throughout
the duration of the program where they can learn more about other areas
of the organization, have professional development learning
opportunities, and get career advise as well.

Food Waste Data Analyst Intern: The
production and consumption of food constitutes the biggest
environmental threat to our planet. Eliminating waste and shifting
consumption patterns represents our biggest opportunity to establish
sustainable and regenerative food systems. Addressing food waste is
critical – from field - to fork - to landfill. WWF’s Food Waste program
is focused on institutional engagement and behavior change with private
and public-sector partners. Our goal is to increase the speed and scale
of solutions that make a more sustainable future possible. We accomplish
this by convening science-based, multi-stakeholder groups to build
awareness and consensus around urgent issues and trends and develop
approaches to advance innovation and accelerate change at scale. This
internship provides an opportunity for an undergraduate student to learn
more about environmental sustainability, specifically food waste
prevention and recovery, by working on an initiative that is focused on
analyzing global solutions related to food system efficiency and
consumption. This internship will work directly with the Director and
the Senior Program Officer of the Food Waste program and will support
ongoing research efforts and in-depth data analysis, with specific focus
on the hospitality industry and the food retailing industry. More info:

Wildlands Studies Field Programs
|
|
|
We put the adventure into learning.
Wildlands Studies programs occur entirely in the field. Although not
taught in a classroom, there are definite academic expectations:
participation in discussions and activities, readings, exams, projects
and presentations. There will also undoubtedly be long days, possible
inclement weather, logistical challenges, and physically demanding
conditions. This comes as well with unsurpassed personal rewards. You
will get the most out of the experience if you bring along flexibility,
ample patience, a sense of humor, self-motivation, and perhaps most
importantly, the desire to work as a team towards a common goal.

EBC Climate Change Program: The Challenge of Designing Systems for an Uncertain Climate Change Future
|
|
|
February 26th, 9 AM - 12 PM
|
|
|
This EBC Climate Change program explores the
design and liability issues associated with designing resilient systems
that are able to withstand increased demands due to climate change
impacts. Traditionally, design professionals rely on historical data to
design systems that have a 50 to 100 year timeframe. Due to the impacts
of climate change, historical data may not be the appropriate basis of
design for future systems. This EBC program will explore the dilemma
that design professionals have in designing systems with uncertain
design parameters. It will also explore the potential exposures and
liabilities associated with designing for an uncertain future.
