The Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Program at California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has several Internship positions available in the upcoming year.  We offer an abundance of interesting research and policy activities for students seeking projects with real-life application or “real data” to analyze.  Our staff members will provide supervision and collaboration.  The IAQ Program is located at the Richmond Campus (near the UC Richmond Field Station).  Some activities can be performed off-site, using email connectivity with our staff.

There are opportunities to collaborate in the following general areas:

• Green building materials
• Sustainability issues in Indoor Environments
• Green cleaning
• Energy efficient ventilation systems for climate change
• Asthma trigger reductions
• Chemical emissions & IAQ modeling (building materials & other products)
• Healthy Schools & Healthy Homes
• Public outreach & risk communication
• Website design and build

Students in Public Health, Public Policy, Engineering, Building Sciences, Information Management, and others are invited to apply.  Internships are available to both undergraduate and graduate students.  Financial support is available on some projects.
