Internships in environmental economics and health

EcoHealth Alliance is looking for 2 people who are interested in environmental economics and health to intern at our offices in NYC for 2 or more months, at least 2 days per week. This is an opportunity to work with our experts on issues such as economics of emerging diseases or of disease in wildlife trade.

Just to give you an idea of what we work on, projects range from wildlife health surveillance to disease ecology of specific pathogens to predicting disease hotspots, to estimation of wildlife trade impacts on human and animal health. I’ve also written in the past about a graduate training and research experience program focused on infectious diseases that is currently entering its second year. We’ve also been involved in conservation work and human health surveillance in developing countries.

If you’re interested, please email your Statement of Interest (maximum 1 page; indicate availability and current location) and CV as a PDF file to intern@ecohealthalliance.org with “Health and Economics Internship” in the subject line.

You can also download and distribute the PDF flyer.
