The Mt. Washington Observatory is currently looking for interns for the winter season! This is a remote mountaintop weather and research station located in northern New Hampshire.  Our mission to advance understanding of the natural systems that create Earth’s weather and climate. With detailed climate data dating back to the organization’s founding, Mount Washington Observatory maintains what is now one of North America’s longest continuous climate records. The Observatory utilizes its state-of-the-art summit facility as a benchmark research station, collaborating with universities, governmental agencies, and private companies on many types of weather and climate research.

As an intern for the Mount Washington Observatory you will live on the summit with one of two alternating crews to conduct a research project that contributes to the work of the Observatory.
