Teamwork will be important, but candidates should also be self-motivated and capable of meeting deadlines and deliverables without a great deal of supervision.

The IT intern will have the opportunity to work on exciting projects, such as:

  • Creating a multimedia library where users can watch sustainability videos and listen to podcasts
  • Turning the AASHE Bulletin into an interactive, browsable database
  • Implementing IP-based authentication so that website visitors on member campuses are automatically logged in
  • Developing specifications for a curriculum database

  • Experience working with Drupal
  • Experience using version control system (subversion)

Location

Interns should be prepared to work remotely from a home office or from our central office in Lexington, Kentucky. The intern will be working primarily with AASHE staff in Durham, NC. As a result, being located in the region would be ideal but not necessary.

Compensation

$10-15/hour, depending on experience.
