Looking for a Job?
We maintain a job e-mail group for job and internship posting information. Postings range from seasonal employment and internships, to mid-level, full-time positions and come from a wide range of industries including but are not limited to, non-profit organizations, local businesses, and municipal, state and federal agencies. We also send external funding opportunities as we receive them. We do not thoroughly screen each position, so you are encouraged to research the company or organization before applying.
If you are interested in joining this list, please send an e-mail to environment.program@umich.edu, specifying which e-mail account to which you would like these emails to be sent.

All U-M Students are encouraged to use The Career Center. It can help with career and graduate school exploration, applications and interviews.
On-Campus Employment
If you’re looking for employment on-campus, be sure to visit the Student Employment Office.
PitE has several resources specifically targeted to the environmental job search:
Reference Library
We have a bookcase full of career exploration books, environmental directories, and job search skills books. The books must stay in the office, but are available to you during office hours (8-5, M-F). Sample titles include:
- Ten Steps to a Federal Job
- Outdoor Careers
- The Big Green Internship Book: Internships and Summer Jobs for the Environment
- Resumes for Environmental Careers
- Washington (DC) Internships in Law and Policy
- “Environ.jobs” e-mail group*
You are invited to subscribe* to this e-mail group on the U-M directory. We forward to it all relevant job and internships that come to the office. At its busiest (January-March), we forward between 4-6 postings a day.
*To subscribe to the e-mail group, click on the "bind" button in the U-M directory. You will be asked to enter your UM uniqname and Kerberos password. Once logged in, type "environ.jobs" in the search box. When it takes you to the environ.jobs page, simply click the "join" button in the upper left corner. You have joined the list.
Links Directory
We have compiled a list of websites students find especially helpful in finding environmental jobs. Look through these to see if there are any you want to bookmark for your own search.
Professional Associations
Some professional organizations provide career profiles and descriptions or post job openings on their sites. We keep a list that PitE students might be interested in.

Graduates of the Program in the Environment go on to pursue a wide range of graduate studies. Our graduates are accepted to professional programs in medicine, law, public health, urban planning, public policy and social work. They also enter master’s and doctoral programs in fields such as Botany, Zoology, Sociology, Natural Resources and Marine Ecology.
