Beginning in 2021 Essex has hosted seasonal interns in the Analytical lab.  Each year we have been fortunate to work with incredible students, each with differing goals for their future in science.  We are grateful for their help with the seasonal surge in our workload, and for each of them we have endeavored to teach as much as possible, with a focus on their personal interests.  Within the lab we have taught the basics of operation and maintenance of analytical instrumentation, calibrations, sample preparation, and data analysis and interpretation.  Beyond, we focus on the basics of food safety, agronomy, agriculture, and the flavor and fragrance industry.

We are grateful for each student who has shared their time and effort with us and look forward to working with more in the future.

Normally the Essex internship runs thru August, Sept, and October. The lab is usually willing to work around school classes, if necessary. All modifications of schedules depend on harvest times, which can be mid-July to mid-October.

Two basic requirements:

  • One-year general chemistry with lab
  • One-year general biology with lab
