Food Safety Internship
Center for Science in the
Public Interest
Washington, DC
The Center for Science in
the Public Interest (CSPI) is a national consumer organization that focuses
on health and nutrition issues. CSPI offers internships for a small number of
qualified students in undergraduate, graduate, law, and medical schools each
summer and during the school year. Background: CSPI was started in 1971 by
three scientists who saw the need for an organization to evaluate the effects
of science and technology on society and to promote national policies
responsive to consumers' interests. CSPI focuses primarily on health and
nutrition issues, disclosing deceptive marketing practices, dangerous food
additives or contaminants, and flawed science propagated by profits. Findings
are communicated in press interviews and a variety of educational materials,
which include reports, books, posters, software, videos, and the Center's Nutrition Action Healthletter. Generally, an internship is
for ten weeks. We have a limited number of paid internships: undergraduate
interns are paid an hourly wage of $8.25/hour; and graduate students earn
$9.25/hour. The specific dates of an internship are flexible and depend on
our needs and the applicant's schedule. Listed below is an
internship position available at CSPI this fall. To apply, please submit a
cover letter, including dates of availability, and resume to hr@cspinet.org. Please include the name of
the internship in the email subject line. Food Safety This project covers a broad
array of topics, divided into the following areas of concentration; the
production and inspection of meat, poultry, and seafood, sustainable organic
agriculture, food additives, and pesticide safety. Interns must have a strong
background in either toxicology, biochemistry,
biological sciences, law or public health. Applicants should have strong
writing and computer skills and must submit a writing sample. |
