Summer internship for students

The entomologist at the Northwest Mosquito Abatement District (NWMAD) in Wheeling, Illinois (northwest suburbs of Chicago) has a summer field and laboratory assistant position looking to be filled.  I’ve attached a description of the position.  I am hoping you know of an undergraduate student with and interest in biology, entomology or ecology that might be looking for summer employment.  This job is an excellent opportunity for a student to gain valuable skills in both field work and in the laboratory.  I would also entertain the idea of hiring a recent graduate looking to add experience to their resume.
