Science Policy Intern: Agronomy, Crops, and Soils - Work Study Required summary: Are you a University of Wisconsin student passionate about science, sustainability, and public impact? ACSESS—the Alliance of Crop, Soil, and Environmental Science Societies—invites you to join our team as a Science Policy Intern through the Federal Work Study Program. Step into a pivotal role where your efforts directly influence the future of U.S. agriculture, soil health, and environmental sustainability. As a Science Policy Intern, you’ll dive into real-world advocacy by tracking evolving legislation and federal agency actions, analyzing their effects on research funding, agricultural innovation, and policy affecting ACSESS members.
You’ll translate complex science into clear, compelling advocacy—writing policy briefs, reports, and outreach materials that shape decision-making. Engage with member stories and legislative campaigns, help organize high-impact webinars and Town Halls, and support training for Congressional Visits Day—preparing materials that reach Hill offices and empower over 80 advocacy visits annually. Collaborate on coalition efforts and new policy education programs, assist with outreach projects, and prepare position statements that drive public policy.
We’re seeking proactive, detail-oriented students with a solid background in agronomy, soil science, crop science, environmental studies, or related disciplines. Excellent communication, research, and organizational skills are a must, as you’ll distill technical topics for diverse audiences and support fast-paced advocacy and member engagement. This paid position offers 20 flexible hours weekly on-site at our Fitchburg, WI or DC office.
To apply, submit your resume, a cover letter showing your passion for science-informed policy, and confirmation of Federal Work Study eligibility. Start your policy career and help advance the future of agriculture with ACSESS.
