<p class="xmsonormal">Hello faculty colleagues. I am pleased to share that the Bonneville Power Administration in Portland, OR, is once again hiring interns in 2023, including around four in our Power Services Division, as part of the federal government’s Pathways
Program. The BPA Power Services Division manages the energy planning and marketing, economic analysis, energy efficiency planning, and water and weather forecasting for the Federal Columbia River Power System. We are again seeking students and recent graduates
who excel at researching and processing physical and econometric data, making sense out of it, communicating effectively verbally and in writing, and helping us operate at the most cost-effective manner possible while meeting all of our statutory obligations.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">We are planning to hire up two or three interns in Operations Research Analyst fields (both current students and recent graduates), and one or two recently graduated Public Utilities Specialists. The Operations Research job classification
is rather generic, but most mathematics, data science, economics, finance, engineering, environmental science, physical science, hydrology, and meteorology/atmospheric science majors qualify for these positions. Business and marketing-related degrees are
also well suited for Public Utilities positions. <span style="color:#1F497D"> </span>Applicants will need to follow the instructions in the Vacancy Announcements very carefully, especially the requirements to include transcripts and making sure resumes include
all of the information requested in the announcement. <b>Applications are due on January 4<sup>th</sup>.
