Employer: U.S. Geological Survey - Upper Midwest Water Science Center Expires: 06/26/2026 A paid training opportunity is currently available with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.The USGS mission is to monitor, analyze, and predict current and evolving dynamics of complex human and natural Earth-system interactions and to deliver actionable intelligence at scales and timeframes relevant to decision makers. As the Nation's largest water, earth, and biological science and civilian mapping agency, USGS collects, monitors, analyzes, and provides science about natural resource conditions, issues, and problems. Research Project: The Watercourse Corridor Study (CS) is a large, long-term cooperative effort between the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). MMSD has jurisdictional responsibility for many streams in the Milwaukee area, and the information from this effort is used to inform management decisions affecting those streams.  This is a large multi-faceted project, with many science subprojects and goals. There are opportunities to participate in a range of studies, but the primary studies relevant to the ORISE participant will likely involve the collection and reporting of ecological data at a variety of all/mostly wadable stream sites in the Milwaukee area. As part of this project, routine ecological monitoring surveys have been performed at 14 stream reaches within the Milwaukee metropolitan area since 2004 (with an additional site added to the network in 2016).  Data collected as part of this subproject will include the distribution and abundance of algae, invertebrates, and fish as well as stream habitat, water quality, and environmental DNA (eDNA).Pairing next-generation eDNA sequencing with traditional whole organism sampling of aquatic communities is valuable to determine the efficacy of both methods by comparing what was identified in the community samples to the eDNA samples, identify locations that may have invasive or rare species that have not been captured via traditional methods, identify locations with sensitive communities to help focus rehabilitation efforts, and attain a holistic view of the biodiversity of aquatic communities at long-term monitoring sites.Near the start of the 21st century, MMSD reevaluated traditional approaches to streambank stabilization and adopted a broader approach to flood management that included additional considerations such as enhanced public safety, passage for migrating fish, and enhancement of habitat conditions for aquatic biota. An additional 3 sites have been added to the sampling network to specifically characterize and track changes in fish communities, physical habitat, and riparian vegetation at reconstructed channels.In addition to their investments in the urban landscape, MMSD is also trying to protect land outside of the urban area to enhance floodwater management.  At present, targeted ecological monitoring has not been conducted in many of these areas, making it difficult to assess their baseline condition or measure success following changes in land management practices or restoration efforts. To address this gap, 4 additional sites will be sampled for biological communities, physical stream characteristics, and eDNA. The Minnesota and Wisconsin Stream Quantification Tool (SQT) will also be used to examine stream function and provide the framework to measure impacts from restoration or mitigation efforts. These efforts will provide a baseline understanding of current stream health, provide the opportunity to monitor long-term trends, and support future adaptive management and watershed planning practices.Specific project objectives include:At 18 stream sites (15 core sites, and 3 physically restored sites) in the Milwaukee area:Provide ecological assessments (fish, macroinvertebrates, algae, and habitat) of aquatic systems.Assess long-term trends to identify changes in aquatic communities over time.Evaluate possible environmental stressors affecting the health of aquatic communities.Use next generation eDNA sequencing to complement traditional sampling.At 4 wetland-dominated sites outside of the Milwaukee metropolitan area:Provide baseline ecological assessments (fish, macroinvertebrates, algae, and habitat) of aquatic systems.Use next generation eDNA sequencing to complement traditional sampling.Examine stream condition and function using the Minnesota and Wisconsin Stream Quantification Tool (SQT).The projects described have a large field effort taking place this summer.  Most or all of the stream sites in question are wadable, and participants responding to this opportunity would likely participate in multiple types of sample collection from the following list:Fish communityMacroinvertebrate communityBenthic algae communityPhysical habitatRiparian vegetationContinuous water-qualityDNAIn addition to field research, there would also be potential to gain experience with field planning/preparation, data management, and other office activities related to this study.Learning Objectives: You will gain invaluable field experience in a professional setting.  Specific highlights include:Learn multiple national protocols for ecological and habitat sampling efforts and get hands on experience collecting data with them. Learn to calibrate, anchor, field-deploy, and manage multi-parameter sondes for the collection of continuous water-quality data. Collaborate closely with USGS personnel to form connections and gain first-hand insights into the highlights and challenges of research of this nature. Gain experience in a long-term sampling effort, whose results will be used to inform management decisions aimed at improving environmental health.Mentor: The mentor for this opportunity is Michelle Nott (mnott@usgs.gov). If you have questions about the nature of the research please contact the mentor(s). Anticipated Appointment Start Date: June 15, 2026. Start date is flexible and will depend on a variety of factors.Appointment Length: The appointment will initially be for 10 weeks, but may be renewed upon recommendation of DOI and is contingent on the availability of funds.Level of Participation: The appointment is full time.Participant Stipend: Stipend rates may vary based on numerous factors, including opportunity, location, education, and experience. If you are interviewed, you can inquire about the exact stipend rate at that time and if selected, your appointment offer will include the monthly stipend rate.

Employer: U.S. Geological Survey - Upper Midwest Water Science Center Expires: 06/26/2026 A paid training opportunity is currently available with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) located in Lansing, Michigan.The USGS mission is to monitor, analyze, and predict current and evolving dynamics of complex human and natural Earth-system interactions and to deliver actionable intelligence at scales and timeframes relevant to decision makers. As the Nation's largest water, earth, and biological science and civilian mapping agency, USGS collects, monitors, analyzes, and provides science about natural resource conditions, issues, and problems. Research Project: USGS scientists are assembling a field and laboratory-based toolbox to improve the detection of zoonotic viral pathogens in the environment (i.e. surface water and air).  Zoonotic viruses are naturally spread from wildlife and livestock to humans and can lead to outbreaks and occasionally global pandemics.  USGS’s toolbox aims to improve environmental surveillance for these viruses and associated host environmental DNA (eDNA) facilitating timely communication for early warning and improved response strategies.  Incorporation and use of wildlife eDNA molecular markers with viral surveillance will provide valuable information for phylogenetic analysis and species identification of wildlife contributing to or at risk from the viral outbreak. Results will inform how wildlife migration and movement influence spread of viruses and disease, help identify susceptible wildlife species, and improve risk modelling for shared environmental corridors used by wildlife, livestock, and humans. You will have the opportunity to review scientific literature to identify genetic markers based on target wildlife species’ genome and then test the specificity of those genetic markers for the target species. You will gain experience in laboratory testing with genetic markers against known target species DNA to determine assay limit of detection, sensitivity, and accuracy.  Next, you will test the developed assay with environmental samples to assess detection and inhibition.  Collaborating with the project team, you will test how environmental variables (i.e. water temperature, pH) and time influences detection and persistence of eDNA markers in environmental samples.   Under the guidance of a mentor you will have the opportunity to draft a standard operating protocol and present project results.    Learning Objectives: You will train with a USGS team focused on environmental surveillance and research engaged in developing and applying solutions for an ongoing viral outbreak with real-world economic, health, and environmental implications.  You will gain experience in field sampling protocols, laboratory analysis, and data interpretation. You will gain experience in a Federal environmental microbiology research laboratory gaining experience developing molecular detection of host eDNA from surface water and air.  You will be encouraged to present project results and collaborate on scientific information products (papers, presentations) resulting from theproject. You will network with an interdisciplinary group of USGS scientists allowing the opportunity to learn more about USGS science and methods, and gain valuable research experience. Mentor: The mentor for this opportunity is Carrie Givens (cgivens@usgs.gov).
