The Coordinated Hazard Assessment and Mapping Program (CHAMP) at the Illinois State Water Survey (ISWS), a division of the Prairie Research Institute (PRI), at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) is seeking 4-6 GIS Students for paid summer internships. Interviews can begin immediately, and the start date could quickly follow a successful interview.
This summer internship program is forming a team that will be responsible for initiating a pilot project in the Kaskaskia Watershed. The goal of the project is updating vector data for stream centerlines and culverts using new topographic data by developing manual and automated processes that can be repeated as new lidar datasets are released.
Candidates should have experience with Esri products including ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Pro. Knowledge of advanced editing techniques, database schemas, scripting, ArcHydro tools, and Machine Learning will bring valuable skills to our team.
Please email cover letters and resumes to rmeekma@illinois.edu
