 | Job Announcements .
Openings are posted as quickly as possible. Sometimes we
receive notice quite late. Deadlines should be taken seriously
but often, if the right person hasn't been found, the position will
be open beyond the deadline date. It is always worth inquiring
to see whether a position has been filled. Note:
Some jobs can serve as internships. |
| Internships. Internships provide valuable learning
opportunities whether it is required for your program of study or
not. All students completing the
Environmental Science and Studies program at Towson must complete
either an internship or an independent research project sponsored by
a member of the Towson faculty. Note:
Some jobs (see above) can serve as internship sites. |
| Call for Volunteers. There are multiple benefits
for becoming engaged in the local environmental community: it
is your community and you will reap the benefits of your efforts;
you will make valuable professional contacts; you can develop new
professional skills which will help you in the job market; it is
fun. |
| Meetings and Special
Events. The Baltimore Metropolitan area
offers many opportunities to learn more about the environmental
problems and progress in region |
| Research
Opportunities. Several federal agencies
provide research opportunities for undergraduate around the
country. The 'call' for applications usually starts in early
spring. These competitive positions will give you an
opportunity to discover another academic community and help
determine whether you wish to pursue a research career. |
| Scholarships/Fellowships. Information will be posted as received.
Should you meet the requirements for a scholarship listed, contact
the funding source even if the posted material is dated. I
don't always get updates. |
| Study Abroad Opportunities. Studying or volunteering abroad can be a valuable and rewarding experience. It allows for the opportunity to learn about other cultures and to learn their environmental issues, perceptions and concerns. In addition to what is seen here, look at the Towson Study Abroad Web Page for other opportunities. |
