We are thrilled that you are applying for one of our STEER summer research internships in environmental health science!

The STEER summer internship is a National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) internship at the Division of Environmental Health Sciences of the UC Berkeley School of Public Health with partners in the Department of Medicine and School of Nursing at UC San Francisco, and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control.

The STEER internship is administered by the Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (COEH) at UC Berkeley. COEH is one of 18 regional Education and Research Centers (ERC) funded by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).

COEH supports traineeships at three UC campuses: UC Berkeley, UC Davis, and UC San Francisco. 

During this 9-week paid ($6,700) summer internship, you will work alongside a research faculty mentor to learn about environmental health science and how this may affect human health. 

The internship is a full-time commitment of 40-hours per week, starting Monday, June 16, and running each weekday through Friday, August 15. There will be 2 paid holidays: Juneteenth, 6/19, and Independence Day, 7/4.

Over the course of the internship, you will:

  • Participate in weekly seminars with faculty
  • Learn about the research process and the responsible conduct of science
  • Network with current graduate students and postdocs to learn more about graduate school
  • Participate in virtual occupational and environmental health field trips
  • Present the findings from your summer research at a symposium

The physical location of the internship will be in Berkeley, California at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health.  Some internships may have additional locations at their respective lab.

All are welcome to apply, including recent graduates.
