Dear Students:
The Council on Undergraduate Research hosts a Registry of Undergraduate Researchers. The purpose of this registry is to facilitate matchmaking between undergraduates who have research experience and a desire to pursue an advanced degree, with graduate schools seeking high quality students who are well prepared for research. The Registry is open to students and graduate schools in the fields of Anthropology/Archaeology, Arts/Humanities, Biology/Biochemistry, Business, Chemistry/Biochemistry, Economics, Education, Engineering, English and Linguistics, Environmental Studies, Geosciences, Health Professions, History, Journalism and Communications, Mathematics/Computer Science, Physics/ Astronomy, Political Science, Psychology, Social Work and Sociology.

Any undergraduate may go to https://www.cur.org/ugreg/reg1.asp to fill out a simple curriculum vitae form. There is no charge to the student or the student's institution and records will be made available to bona fide Graduate Schools that contract with CUR for this service. Organizations or companies seeking the students’ information for other marketing purposes will not be granted access. Graduate School representatives may contact students to invite applications or visits to the campus and laboratory, or to share information about their research programs and financial support opportunities.
We hope that students who are currently in their junior year will register now, but anyone with undergraduate research experience may register at any time. You will be able to update your listing as appropriate, to include any summer research experience or information about Senior Theses and test scores. We also welcome submissions by students who are engaged in Masters' Degree programs now but who plan on going on to a PhD program. Just fill out the information on the form including the date you intend to enter a PhD program and your date of completion of your undergraduate degree. Upload a link to your CV that contains complete information about your MS/MA degree activity (school, subject, thesis topic (if applicable), and advisor).
Please feel free to contact me, should you have any questions.

Be sure to include a statement of your research interests, as this will be important for making the match.

Graduate schools may provide a link to their websites, and may provide a short description of opportunities, such as research fields and fellowships. For graduate schools that wish to review the student information, there is an access fee of $1,500 for the entire database, or $300 for one specific discipline. Again, there is no cost to you as a student to create a profile.

CUR believes that this service will be a great benefit for both students and graduate schools by narrowing the search for the right match. So if you are interested in graduate school, please take a moment to register now. For more information or to login if you've already created a profile, please visit: http://www.cur.org/ugreg/

National Park Service Student Career Intake Program Internships

Overview
The SCIP program takes a multi-year approach in providing a structured progression of career training and employment for college students from diverse communities who want to work for the National Park Service (NPS).
Students gain practical work experience coupled with training that covers diverse park components like Interpretation, Resource Management, Maintenance and Administration. Each SCIP student will be placed at a host site within National Capital Parks-East (NACE) as a Visitor Use Assistant

Upon selection, the student will be hired as a Student Temporary Employee Program (STEP) employee. The first summer of the program will involve visiting various parks learning about different positions at those parks.
Approximately (3) days a week will be dedicated to the career exploration component called Mission in Action: Career Fields. The other (2) days the SCIPs will be working at their host parks. The second summer of the program the SCIPs will be working at their host sites full-time and will have a mentor to help develop an Individual Development Plan (IDP) and provide professional guidance. At the end of the second summer the SCIPs will be assessed and upon good standing be converted into a Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) employee.

The Student Career Experience Program gives students a "jump start" in their chosen career fields by providing valuable, paid work experience while they are still in school. After completion of their academic and work requirements, students may be eligible for permanent employment.

Best Internship on Earth

This year, the Sierra Club is announcing the second year of our Best Internship on Earth program. One lucky intern will get to spend the summer traveling around the country, hiking, rafting, and camping with the Sierra Club's youth programs - making a video blog about their experience. We'll pay for all travel and provide a stipend, and the intern will also get a $2,000 gift certificate from The North Face to outfit them with all the gear they need. It's truly an amazing opportunity.

They are looking for students who love the outdoors and travel, are interested in environmental issues, and want to spend the summer interning with the country's largest grassroots environmental group. The Sierra Club helps tens of thousands of young people experience the outdoors each year - and we want to find the perfect intern to help tell those students' stories.
