If you care about the environment and want to make a difference, the DNR offers many temporary positions across the state.

Join the DNR for part-time and full-time temporary employment that can last anywhere from a few weeks to months. Although some temporary positions have no benefits or paid leave, these jobs give you a chance to explore career options at the Iowa DNR.

Internships often are unpaid but allow college students a chance to gain valuable work experience while fulfilling a requirement.

Openings occur throughout the year, but most temporary positions in fisheries, wildlife, law enforcement and parks are during late spring and summer. Watch for announcements on these outdoor positions starting in January.
