National Park Service/NCPE Internship Program

This internship will support the National Park Service (NPS) Climate, Science, and Disaster Response (CSDR) Program within the Cultural Resources, Partnerships, and Science Directorate, principally supporting the work of the NPS Archaeologist for Climate Change. This program is housed within the Climate Change Response Program, located in Fort Collins, CO, and is tasked with the stewardship of cultural resources impacted by a changing climate and disasters.

The internship will be expected to conduct literature reviews of adaptation responses for cultural resources and climate change-related management processes (e.g., vulnerability assessments, ongoing research). The internship will also support ongoing and emergent vulnerability assessments and adaptation development at park locations.

Final products will include, in addition the literature reviews described above, a final report on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges related to these initiatives, as well as recommendations on how climate change adaptations can be incorporated into existing NPS operations. Specific considerations of stakeholder inclusion and environmental justice, particularly within local communities and traditionally associated peoples, is highly encouraged.
