The Biology of Ant Invasions McGinnies Graduate Scholarship in Arid Land Studies Application Review Date: December 1, 2007
The intent of the McGinnies Scholarship is to provide additional support to graduate students whose dissertations or theses projects involve the plants, animals, biotic history, or environment of the world’s arid and semiarid lands. The annual scholarship award is $1,000.
Additional information and application details can be found at: http://www.arid.arizona.edu/McGinnies/index.asp Internship & Volunteering Opportunities – Madagascar
In 2008, Azafady is offering a limited number of unique internship opportunities for students to participate in humanitarian, environmental and conservation work while having the chance to see how a grassroots development NGO operates. Working closely with local communities, interns on our Pioneer Madagascar Program take part in a range of practical construction work, conservation research and educational activities, whilst our Lemur Venture scheme, new this year, provides the chance to focus on the conservation of endangered primate populations in the south-east of the island. Our internships could be beneficial to students in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology and would particularly suit those who have a specific interest in working in the international sustainable development or conservation sector.
For additional information, please visit: http://www.madagascar.co.uk/mailers/mailer_121007_mailer_us.htm CEDO Field Education Internship
CEDO, the Intercultural Study for the Studies of Deserts and Oceans, has an immediate opening in its Field Education Internship program at its facility in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora.
Interns support CEDO’s field education programs by receiving and orienting groups using the facility and providing field teaching services for student and tour groups (tidepool & estuary tours, slideshows, general CEDO talks).
Interns are provided housing in the CEDO facility and a monthly stipend. Applicants must be at least 21 years of age and have a college degree, preferably in science (marine biology or related field). Some Spanish proficiency required. This internship runs until June 2008.
