Dear Ecology Listserv Readers, My name is Rachel Bietz, and I am an undergraduate student at The Evergreen State College in Washington State. I am also the Director of Public Relations for the Journal of Young Investigators (JYI), writing to notify your students of opportunities to expand their experience with our organization. JYI is an independent, non-profit, peer-reviewed, online science journal that is managed entirely by and for undergraduate students from across the world. JYI’s innovative manuscript review process serves as a platform for undergraduates to be involved in every step of the peer-review process, a valuable experience that cannot be found anywhere else. Since its founding in 1997 with funding from the National Science Foundation, JYI has been the pioneering journal for reviewing undergraduate research, publishing science news, and providing career information. JYI’s unique mission has been recognized in Science, Nature, EurekAlert!, The Chronicle on Higher Education, and The New York Times. We have exciting opportunities in many of our departments that would allow students to explore careers in science journalism, scientific editing and publishing, public relations and marketing and web development, while contributing to a growing organization that supports the work of other undergraduate students. We believe that by doing meaningful work in their field of interest, students will generate skills and develop practical knowledge that will reinforce the work they are doing in the classroom. JYI is currently looking for highly motivated undergraduates to fill positions within our organization. Being involved in JYI is a chance to channel your enthusiasm and create a long lasting impact during your undergraduate career. The deadline to apply for our summer application period is May 31st and applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
