Interested in a summer internship? The Nebraska On-Farm Research Network and digital ag group in the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture is looking for undergraduate interns.
Assist with data collection (soil samples, georeferenced crop scouting, tissue sampling, aerial imagery acquisition) for existing on-farm research studies (approximately 120 studies, of which approximately 50 will be related to nitrogen management). Film and produce short video updates of research studies and results for web and social media use. Assist in the development of articles for CropWatch and the Nebraska On-Farm Research Network newsletter to share research summaries and updates for
farmer and agronomist audiences. Conduct interviews with participating farmers to use in web and social media. Copresent at field days and precision ag crop management
clinics (assuming we can resume normal activities). Can adapt activities based on skills and desired experiences of the intern.
- The 8-week internship will start on June 6, 2022 and end on August 12, 2022.
- Interns will receive a stipend of $6,000. Additional funds for expenses (e.g., travel, lodging, per diem) are not provided.
- Applications accepted until February 4, 2022.
- Students from underrepresented minority groups and/or disadvantaged backgrounds, as well as those who may have a disability, are strongly encouraged to apply. Women are also strongly encouraged to apply.
