Tyson is the environmental field station for Washington University in St. Louis and a resource for faculty, staff, and students at WashU and beyond. Together with our laboratory and experimental facilities, our 2,000-acre landscape provide opportunities for multi-scale research and teaching. We encourage interdisciplinary collaboration and integrate educational programs into faculty research programs for authentic research apprenticeships.
At Tyson, we fully integrate our educational programming within our research activities. We provide enthusiastic pre-college and undergraduate students with hands-on research experience in the natural and environmental sciences. The resources of Tyson Research Center are also available to educators at other regional colleges and universities.
The Tyson Conservation Corps Internship is an hourly paid position that works during the academic year on Tyson-based projects under the direction of Tyson Research Center staff scientists. TCC intern positions support the following types of activities: on site restoration and conservation, data collection and management of current research and monitoring projects, communications including maintenance of social media presence, event and campus vehicle coordination, outreach to and co-programming with other green groups at WashU and beyond, and other duties as needed. TCC interns serve as representatives of Tyson to the WashU Environment, Sustainability, and Climate Change Internships program (ESSC) and attend all ESCC events.
Interns will work onsite at Tyson and/or remotely and/or at the WashU Danforth Campus depending upon the internship position and project activities.
