**Internships**

The IAEA accepts a limited number of interns each year. The internships are awarded to persons studying towards a university degree or who have recently received a degree (see Internship web pages for further details).
- The purpose of the programme is:

- To provide interns with the opportunity to gain practical work experience in line with their studies or interests, and expose them to the work of the IAEA and the United Nations as a whole;
- To benefit the IAEA's programmes through the assistance of qualified students specialized in various professional fields.
- The duration of an internship is normally not less than three months and not more than one year.

**Organizational Setting**

The Department of Nuclear Sciences and Applications implements the IAEA's Major Programme 2, "Nuclear Techniques for Development and Environmental Protection". This Major Programme comprises individual programmes on food and agriculture, human health, water resources, environment and radiation technologies. These programmes are supported by laboratories in Seibersdorf, Monaco and Vienna. The Major Programme's objective is to enhance the capacity of Member States to meet basic human needs and to assess and manage the marine and terrestrial environments through the use of nuclear and isotopic techniques in sustainable development programmes.

The Isotope Hydrology Section is responsible for planning and implementing the IAEA's water resources programme. The programme assists Member States in the sustainable management of all aspects of their water resources, but with a particular focus on isotope hydrology. Major activities include internationally coordinated research, global isotope monitoring, capacity building, and technical assistance to Member States to help them with the assessment, development and use of water resources. The Section also operates a well-equipped laboratory for the analysis of stable and radioactive isotopes. The laboratory trains counterparts in using analytical techniques for high-quality measurements of isotopes in water samples.

**Main Purpose**

The main purpose of the internship is supporting the Isotope Hydrology Laboratory with processing of water samples for tritium analysis.

**Functions / Key Results Expected**

Under supervision of the Tritium Group leader and Laboratory Head and the direct guidance of Laboratory and Section Staff, the Intern carries out key tasks related to processing of water samples for tritium analysis including:

- Purification of water samples by chemical treatment and distillation.
- Analysis of samples by UV spectroscopy.
- Tritium enrichment by electrolysis.
- Liquid scintillation counting (LSC) analysis.
- Registration of samples and management of workflows.

**Qualifications and Experience**
- University degree in environmental sciences, hydrogeology, hydrology, chemistry, or related field. Master’s degree in the above fields is an asset
- Solid knowledge in the use of analytical equipment in a laboratory environment
- Knowledge of hydrochemistry.
- Solid knowledge of standard office software (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
