Preservation Archaeology Field School Internship
Paid summer internship in southwestern New Mexico
Title: Preservation Archaeology Field School
Offered by Archaeology Southwest and the University of Arizona, this unique six-week program provides students with an opportunity to learn excavation, survey, experimental archaeology, and laboratory methods in a beautiful, remote, and archaeologically exciting part of the U.S. Southwest.
Our innovative curriculum highlights the goals, ethics, and practice of Preservation Archaeology, which integrates research, education, and preservation within a community-based framework. We share what we learn throughout the project with the public via local events, blog posts, and other venues. Together, students and staff explore ethically responsible and scientifically rigorous field and research methods while investigating compelling questions about our shared past.
*Students must provide their own tents and camping equipment
The program runs from May 24 - July 5, 2017
The deadline is March 6, 2017
Benefits include:
- $3,000 stipend
- Meals provided
- Camping amenities (outdoor solar shower enclosures, portable toilets in camp and at our work site)
Suggested majors:
- Anthropology
- History
- Geography
- Ancient Studies
If you need help reviewing your application and/or personal statement, please contact Janet McGlynn, mcglynn@umbc.edu Meet Kristofer,
He is a Psychology major and an URA Scholar. His future goal is to receive his PhD in either Clinical-Community Psychology or Community Psychology. From there, he wants to bring his skill set to his family home of Hawaii. He plans on working with the indigenous population to develop programs to rebuild and increase empowerment within the community in the hopes of halting the damage being caused by being a trans-colonial state.
Kristofer's research will explore the fastest-growing racial group in the United States: Asian immigrants. Asian immigrants experience a large amount of racial discrimination that includes the behavioral practices or social structures used to denigrate individuals of a group based on ethnic identity or skin color. Racial discrimination in Asian Americans has been shown to decrease the psychological well-being of those that perceive it. His research aims to examine: (1) the association between first-generation Asian immigrant mothers’ perceptions of racial discrimination they experience in the U.S. and their psychological well-being, and (2) the moderating role of maternal perceptions of economic opportunity and social standing in the U.S. in the association between maternal perceptions of racial discrimination and maternal psychological well-being.

(b) develop research, teamwork, and communication skills applicable to any career in social and behavioral sciences;
(c) increase the number of undergraduates who pursue graduate education and HF careers; and
(d) increase the number of underrepresented groups in HF, and in social and behavioral sciences more generally.
Undergraduates will engage in research on topics including perceptual issues in driving, collaboration of humans and robots on tasks relevant to health care, surveillance, and manufacturing; skill acquisition in laparoscopic surgery; enhancement of student learning; neuroscience and implications for baggage screening and military threat detection; effects of attitudes and social norms on substance use; sexual-identity development and implications for health-based disparities; and the use of simulation/modeling in injury reduction.

This is a three-dimensional research project to define the taxonomy and distribution of tardigrades (water bears) in the canopy and the herbivory of insects on a North American deciduous forest.The project is a fast-paced, tree-climbing, data-collecting, rapid-analysis and results-oriented internship. It is not for the timid. The plan is to climb and collect in the cooler mornings and spend the hotter afternoons and evenings processing specimens in the labs. Weekends include visits to local cultural sites and water bear hunts.
This canopy-based REU project offers students of all abilities equal opportunity to explore and learn. Students can discover new species, new ecologies and new limits and reach new heights.
Designed for eight students, four with ambulatory disabilities and four without, this project is based on the idea that a wheelchair is not a limit to good field biology. To explore the canopy we climb ropes not trees, and in the lab we use microscopes, computers and minds, which have no limits.
The program runs from May 29 – Aug. 9, 2017
Benefits include:
- A stipend of $525 per week for the 10-week project ($5,250)
- An allowance for food
- A shared apartment in Baker University housing
- Travel costs to and from home to the project, as well as internal project travel
Suggested majors:
- Biological Sciences
- Environmental Science

The Biosphere 2 program provides 10 undergraduates an opportunity to conduct guided research in environmental and Earth systems science at a leading and unique research institution. Students will be selected from across the country to participate in the program. Selected students participate in a variety of activities that will help them pursue a career in environmental sciences.
Students conduct their own research under a mentor, interact with other participants and scientists, and present research findings in a formal poster symposium setting. Unique components of the Biosphere 2 REU experience are interaction with the public visitors to Biosphere 2 and training in effective outreach related to student research topics. Additionally, students participate in professional development workshops, an ethics-in-science workshop, and field trips to local attractions.
The program runs from June 5 to August 11.
Benefits include:
- Stipends of $5,000 for the 10-week research internship
- Housing on the Biosphere 2 campus
- $500 to cover travel costs to and from Tucson, AZ
- A food allowance
Undergraduate students from a wide range
of disciplines and interests including:
- biological sciences,
- environmental science
- ecology,
- plant sciences,
- hydrology,
- soil science,
- geology,
- atmospheric science,
- mathematics and statistics,
- physics,
- chemistry and biochemistry,
- and computer science and electrical engineering
are encouraged to apply.

Researcher of the Week: Renee Booker
Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!
Meet Renee,
She is a English major and an URA Scholar. She is also a staff writer for The Retriever Weekly and is involved with UMBC’s creative arts journal, Bartleby. Rene also has some advice for future researchers... "Don’t doubt the merits of your research project. Even if your project is very different than many others, don’t let that discourage you. You’re bringing your own perspectives and ideas to the table, and they deserve to be heard just as much as everyone else’s ideas do."
Rene's research project explores the effects from people who were children at the time of 9/11 in order to look at how those attacks were a common point of awakening among the members of her (Rene's) generation. The research also plans to look at how the attacks continue to affect those individuals today. I plan to take elements of the recollections collected, as well as my own, and combine them into a nonfiction book. The aim of this book is to appeal to a wide range of ages, from middle school-aged children through the Millennial Generation. An effect of the timeline will emphasize the enormous impact that one single day can have on an entire generation.
