VertNet is pleased to announce the VertNet Undergraduate Internship, scheduled for the Summer of 2013. This internship is an opportunity for two undergraduate students to gain valuable training and practical experience in biodiversity informatics, biodiversity research and systematics, and museum collection management.
Two interns positions are available; one at the University of California, Berkeley, and one at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Internships will not exceed three months (12 weeks) and will include participation in VertNetÂ’s Biodiversity Informatics Training Workshop in Boulder, Colorado, on June 24-28, as a part of the InternsÂ’ training. Individuals selected to participate will be considered full time employees of their respective institutions and paid at the monthly rate of $3150 (CUBoulder)/$3300 (UCBerkeley). Interns will receive additional support to cover costs during the workshop for travel between Berkeley and Boulder and accommodations and per diem (when in residence at the secondary institution). Interns will be responsible for their own travel to and from the internship and accommodations and daily needs while in residence at the primary institution. Support is available to help find accommodations in both locations. All applications materials and recommendations must be received by 11:59pm PT on January 11, 2013 for consideration. Accepted participants will be notified in March 2013. visit http://vertnet.org/about/Internship.php to apply. Information courtesy (CNAH) Center for North American Herpetology & HerpDigest
