Braddock Bay Raptor Research — Spring 2027 Internships

Spring 2027 · Type: Internship / Field Research / Education · Rochester area

This one is especially worth your attention. I work closely with Braddock Bay Raptor Research, and former students have worked with BBRR as hawk banders and in other capacities.

BBRR is offering two internship tracks for spring 2027. The Raptor Research Internship gives students hands-on experience with the spring hawkwatch, raptor banding, owl-roost surveys, field data collection, raptor identification, and public interpretation. The Raptor Education Internship focuses on caring for and working with non-releasable education raptors, handling and training methods, outreach programs, field trips, and Bird of Prey Days.

The research internship runs roughly March through mid-May and expects at least two days per week, four hours per day. The education internship runs February through May at roughly 4–6 hours per week. Start and end dates are flexible. Own transportation is required.

Application review begins December 1, 2026 and continues on a rolling basis. To apply, send a letter of interest stating which internship you are applying for, a résumé, and references to Daena Ford at information@bbrr.org.

Paychex Data Research Opportunity — September 9

Past opportunity · Wednesday, September 9, 2026 · Type: Research / Data · Rochester

Professor Ronni Pavan is working with Paychex on a new confidential dataset containing county-level measures of firms’ hiring, separations, employment, and compensation across the United States. The initial project will examine the effects of the ACA expansion, but the data potentially open the door to many other research questions as well.

Interested students were invited to meet representatives from Paychex on Wednesday, September 9:

• Around 12:30 p.m. — Harkness 210
• 2:00 p.m. — Dewey 2110E

This was an unusual opportunity for students interested in empirical economics, independent research, or potentially developing a future thesis idea.

Think of this as an example of the kinds of research opportunities that can appear during the semester: working with a remarkable real-world dataset, seeing what questions emerge, and learning what serious empirical research looks like.

The data were to be stored securely on BlueHive, with access potentially available to interested students willing to sign the necessary confidentiality agreements.
