Dear students,
Are you looking for a summer research internship studying ocean, coastal or environmental science? I invite you to check out the University of Southern California’s Summer REU program. Undergraduate students in this summer program spend 10 weeks (June 5 – August 11, 2017) at the Wrigley Marine Science Center on Catalina Island to conduct mentored summer research projects related to marine science.

Hello SAFS Undergraduates:
Chris Grue is recruiting a select group of undergraduates from SAFS or SEFS to assist with the development of a functional predation test using Chinook salmon smolts and smallmouth bass to confirm the safety of a new herbicide for the control of Eurasian watermilfoil. Students will assist with (contribute to) the design of the test and validating the test using the facilities at the SAFS aquatic facility (hatchery).

REU program at WWU Shannon Point Marine Center
Gain hands-on experience doing marine science research on the beautiful waters of the Salish Sea.

The Shannon Point Marine Center is accepting applications for the 2017 Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. Program participants work one-on-one with faculty mentors studying themes related to productivity and nutrient cycling in local watershed systems; marine microbial ecology; physiology of symbiosis; larval development; physiology, ecology, and morphology of marine invertebrates; coastal oceanography; and chemical ecology.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is pleased to announce the availability of scholarships for undergraduate students majoring in disciplines related to oceanic and atmospheric science, research, or technology, and supportive of the purposes of NOAA’s programs and mission. Over 100 students are selected each year for participation in the Ernest F. Hollings (Hollings) and Educational Partnership Program (EPP) scholarship programs.

Please share with your networks that intersect environmental and race and social justice.
This student intern will be working directly with me in implementing and embedding an environmental equity and social justice lens within the environmental program and policies at Seattle City Light.
This is a paid internship and hours will be flexible with school schedules.
Thank you!

Dear Students,
The application for the 20th Annual UW Undergraduate Research Symposium is now open! The Sym­po­sium will be held on May 19, 2017 in Mary Gates Hall.
The Symposium is a celebration of undergraduate accomplishments in research, scholarship, and creative expression in all academic disciplines. Students may present their research either in a poster, an oral presentation session, or in a performing arts or visual arts and design session.

The Mary Gates Endowment for Students is currently accepting scholarship applications. Mary Gates Scholarships provide $5,000 ($2,500 per quarter for two quarters) for students to pursue leadership or research projects. These scholarships benefit students in the current academic year, and are open to all UW undergraduate students regardless of class year, major, residency status, or UW campus. Deadlines are coming up soon!

Hello fish-y educators and students!
This message is intended for students and faculty interested in attending or presenting a poster at the Oregon Chapter of the American Fisheries Society (ORAFS) Annual Meeting. Please forward to your networks.
Jeremy Romer, ORAFS vice-president, mentioned that many of you and/or your students are interested in submitting a poster for the upcoming Oregon Chapter of the American Fisheries Society meeting in Bend, OR from Feb 28-Mar 3, 2017.

The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is now accepting applications for a variety of research internships for undergraduates in summer 2017. From helping to design sensor assemblies to testing sampling protocols and analyzing data, interns work alongside staff mentors and explore career options in weekly professional development seminars and networking events with interns from other scientific programs based in Boulder, CO.
