Geoscience Internships

Geoscience internship programs are an increasingly popular way to get field and/or research experience, and sometimes to meet culminating experience requirements in Bachelor of Science degree programs. These internships are often in the summer and you should be a (rising) senior geoscience student. Here is a list of internships :

Undergraduate student internship opportunities

NAGT/USGS Cooperative Summer Fellowship Program'

List of internships from the Institute for Broadening Participation

Jobs in the Geosciences

I am compiling a list of non-academic jobs in the geosciences as a resource for students in the School of the Environment at SF State. Narrow the geographic location for your search, and use keywords like "GIS", etc. 

Association of American State Geologists Employment Opportunities span a wide range of sub-fields in geology for entry-level to senior-level geologist positions, and including student opportunities, all over the country. A sampling of positions in 2023 includes museum scientists across a broad range of specialties, engineering geologists including seismic hazards and burned watershed engineering, geospatial specialists including GIS, natural hazard mitigation, coastal geologists, instrumentation technicians, natural resource scientists, geologic mapping specialists including map standards, including digital mapping, geochemists, program chiefs,  subsurface geoscientists, carbon sequestration seismologists, environmental analysts, marine geologists, oceanographers, remote sensing scientists, communication & outreach specialists, hydrogeologists, field geologists, media production specialists, geologist-in-training, etc.)

LinkedIn gives a wide array of geoscience jobs in the San Francisco Bay Area

ZipRecruiter returned several two dozen results when I searched for a "Geologist" position in/near San Francisco, California.

Indeed.com had a different selection of jobs in the San Francisco Bay Area.

If you're looking for jobs in a different area, simply change the geographic location for your search in whatever search engine you're using.

Good luck!
