A green roof consists of vegetation planted on a roof of a building which is generally implemented to enhance energy conservation, stormwater management, or building aesthetics. Possible tasks are listed below. Supervisors are happy to work with a student to customize the project to suit his or her interests. * Collect current literature, data and other resources on green roofs into an indexed, easy-to-use resource for Operations staff. * Summarize and analyze current literature for conclusions on the impacts of green roofs. * Create a framework process and tools, if possible, for analyzing a proposed or existing building at MIT for green roof potential. * Draft a possible protocol for a pilot experiment of green roofs at MIT. Investigate possible existing sites on the MIT campus for the pilot and investigate the resources needed to implement such a project. Prerequisites: An interest in architecture and natural systems. A background in either of these areas is useful but not necessary. Student should be ready to work independently. This position is equivalent to a part-time summer UROP, scheduling of hours is flexible. This UROP is funded through the Campus Sustainability UROP Program.

We are developing a major political networking and activism site set to launch this summer, and we're looking for a politically inclined editorial intern to join our team ASAP. Job Description: Typical duties will include developing election-related content, assisting the technical team with application testing, and moderating user-submitted stories and comments. About us: We're an early stage startup headquartered in Phoenix, AZ and Boston, MA. We provide a non-partisan but politically infused environment, with plenty of opportunities for initiative and a chance to be involved with the project from an early stage. Requirements: Strong communication skills and a passion for politics. While we may have an occasional meeting in our Davis Square office (right on the MBTA Red Line), this will be a telecommuting position so regular access to the Internet is a must. We expect you to commit to about 10-20 hours per week, but can be flexible around academic commitments (read: we won't ask you to work during finals week). This internship is unpaid, but we'll be happy to work with your institution to facilitate academic credit, if applicable. For more information, or to apply, e-mail info at polimediagroup.com
