Are you a student who is exploring prospective majors and who is interested in future careers in the environment and/or sustainability areas?  If so, please consider attending all or parts of this event; we would love to meet you.
The Bioresource Science and Engineering major in the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences is hosting its first annual Bioeconomy Career Day in the HUB room 337(morning) and room 334 (afternoon) on Wednesday January 15th.  

The College of the Environment is excited to invite fellow Huskies to our upcoming employer event, Ocean Tech Career Day, on Wednesday, January 22. Representatives from various ocean technology companies will be present to discuss their work, advertise open opportunities, and answer questions from students.
This event is a great opportunity for students who are interested in discovering potential career pathways in ocean technology. 

For the fourth year in a row, the EarthLab Summer Internship Program invites you to join a community of students working toward an equitable and sustainable future! Designed to support the next generation of imaginative and resourceful leaders, our program offers undergraduate students at the University of Washington the chance to build skills in interdisciplinary and community-engaged work at the intersection of climate change and social justice. 

Hello undergraduates,
Do you want to actively engage with science communication with your research? FieldNotes is seeking both written and visual submissions for our Winter 2025 issue! We aim to provide a platform for undergraduates to practice science communication, and primarily publish pieces about environmental research by UW students.
Our editorial board will work with you to edit your article throughout Winter quarter and it will be featured in our annual issue in both print and digital forms. 

Undergraduate Opportunities
Through funding provided by the Oceankind Foundation, the Marine Landscape Ecology Lab supports the paid participation of one undergraduate intern each summer. The intern will support projects focused on the mapping of sea lion communities in California, and rocky intertidal communities in British Columbia, California, and Washington. A $6,000 stipend is provided as part of the student’s participation.
Requirements

Be a University of Washington undergraduate student enrolled in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) degree program. 

We are looking to hire a junior or senior undergraduate student to assist in the development of a Bycatch Reduction Performance Indicator (BPI) as part of a NOAA-sponsored halibut bycatch reduction device (BRD) project. The student will conduct/assist in up to three tasks: literature review, BPI development, and BRD scoring.
Background
A BPI will be developed to evaluate and compare BRDs previously tested and/or used in the Bering Sea Pacific cod trawl fishery. 

The Wood Lab at the University of Washington seeks to hire three undergraduates for a 9-week Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) internship to take place between June and August of 2025. We anticipate hiring one undergraduate from the University of Washington and two who attend other universities. The position is supported by a CAREER award from the National Science Foundation for a project entitled, “Reconstructing parasite abundance in river ecosystems over the past half century.” The students hired into this position will have the opportunity to be at the forefront of a new sub-discipline: the historical ecology of parasitism. 

The Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) and the University of Washington request applications for students in the Mathematical Sciences for a summer internship at the NWFSC. Interns will spend summer (~16 June – 15 September) working on a research project that integrates mathematics with the science that informs fishery managers. A stipend of $6,300 will be provided from the Usha and S. Rao Varanasi SAFS Faculty Endowment for Student Support, the NWFSC, and the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences (SAFS). The successful applicant will also be provided with office space at the NWFSC or SAFS and a NWFSC mentor.

Through funding provided by the Oceankind Foundation, the Marine Landscape Ecology Lab supports the paid participation of one undergraduate intern each summer. The intern will support projects focused on the mapping of sea lion communities in California, and rocky intertidal communities in British Columbia, California, and Washington.
