Summer 2017 - National Wildlife Refuge System


The National Wildlife Refuge System is a network of habitats that benefits wildlife, provides unparalleled outdoor experiences for all Americans, and protects a healthy environment. Today, there are more than 560 national wildlife refuges and 38 wetland management districts. There is a wildlife refuge within an hour's drive of most major metropolitan areas. The National Wildlife Refuge Association (Refuge Association) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to wildlife conservation through programs that support and strengthen the National Wildlife Refuge System of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
It takes many disciplines to carry out the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System. They include biology, forestry, law enforcement, environmental education and interpretation. At regional and national office levels, it includes engineering, planning, communication, and administration. Interested in these kinds of careers? This year we will also offer internships at the Fish and Wildlife Service regional office in Atlanta, Georgia, for commuters only (housing not provided) for engineering, planning, communication, and administration.
Internship Description:
This summer, student refuge interns will spend 10-12 weeks on a national wildlife refuge and will participate in a full range of tasks involved in managing a refuge. Interns will be exposed to a variety of experiences including wildlife biology, environmental education, and interpretation, conservation management, outreach, and other refuge operations and maintenance. Interns will be active participants in implementing meaningful conservation projects on the ground. Interns will be placed on national wildlife refuges in the southeast or northeast regions of the United States. Interns will be registered as a National Wildlife Refuge Volunteer. This internship is unpaid, however, housing will be provided and funding for transportation to and from the refuge will be provided.

Summer and fall 2017 - internships University of Tokyo

My name is Kristina Awatsu and I work for the International Promotion Division in the School of Science at the University of Tokyo.

I am contacting you in regards to international programs that are being offered by the School of Science and may be of interest to students who would like to experience studying science abroad:  UTRIP, a summer research internship program, GSC, an undergraduate transfer program, and GSGC, a graduate program. All three programs are conducted in English and offer scholarships to students, allowing them to focus on their research and enjoy their time in Japan.

If possible, would you please share the following opportunities with your undergraduate students in the Schools of Biological Sciences, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, and Physics?

---------------------------------------------------------------

International Programs in the School of Science at the University of Tokyo

1)     The University of Tokyo Research Internship Program (UTRIP)

UTRIP is a 6-week summer internship program for students majoring in natural science and other relevant fields. It provides students with an opportunity to gain the experience of "real graduate-school life" or "research-centered life." UTRIP is a gateway to pursuing an advanced degree and experiencing academic life at our university. Participants on UTRIP will also be granted financial support to cover their costs and expenses. They will also get the opportunity to take part in cultural activities and excursions to learn more about Japan.

The application period is open from January 6, 2017 (JST) to February 2, 2017 for Summer 2017 participation.


2)     The Global Science Course (GSC)

GSC is an undergraduate transfer program that was designed to enhance cross-cultural interactions among young minds and foster the next generation of leaders in science. Students study alongside current UTokyo students in an all-English and research-focused academic environment, which includes rotations in world-renowned laboratories. Successful applicants to this program are also provided a monthly scholarship as well as fully supported accommodation. This is an invaluable opportunity for those looking to expand their worldviews and experience something unique during their time as an undergraduate student specializing in the sciences.

The application period is open from January 10, 2017 to April 7, 2017 (JST) for Fall 2017 enrollment.
*Please note that GSC is currently only offered in the Department of Chemistry.


3)  Global Science Graduate Course (GSGC)

GSGC is an international graduate program that was recently launched by Graduate School of Science at the University of Tokyo and allows students to obtain their degrees in English. This program welcomes excellent graduates from universities all over the world, fostering world-class science professionals, and standardizes a five-year integrated education scheme in which students attend both the Master's program and the Doctoral program in sequence. Students on GSGC are also provided with a monthly scholarship during their time on the program and support in finding employment following graduation.


---------------------------------------------------------------

Although the 2017 application period for GSGC has come to a close, it may be beneficial for students to keep this program in mind if they would like to enter our Graduate School of Science in 2018 or onwards.

Also, if you would like any hard-copies of our promotional materials to distribute to students, please let me know and I would be happy to send a package.

Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
Kristina

summer 2017 - Maryland Sea Grant Summer REU program internship

Are you looking for a summer research internship studying ocean, coastal or environmental science? I invite you to check out the Maryland Sea Grant Summer REU program. We bring upper-level undergraduate students to the Chesapeake Bay to conduct individual research projects with a scientist-mentor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. We select undergrads in many disciplines, including engineering, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, ecology and marine and environmental science.

In particular, we encourage students from colleges and universities where access to marine science and to research opportunities is limited and who are from groups traditionally underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and math. We believe bringing together students from many disciplines, backgrounds and parts of the country makes for a more interesting and educational summer experience.

We are accepting applications through February 15. Please visit our website to find out more (www.mdsg.umd.edu/reu) or drop me a note at reu@mdsg.umd.edu.
