Imagine an office that consists of the rivers, mountains, and lakes of the central Idaho Rockies. The Environmental Education and Interpretation Specialist will provide high quality, field-based environmental education and interpretation programs to the youth and citizens of Idaho. One-third of the work will take place at Idaho’s only residential outdoor science school, one-third in various schools around the state, and one-third at public agencies and nonprofit organizations across Idaho. Your 12 months of service with the Mobile Environmental Education Corps (MEEC) will consist of two distinct phases. Phase 1: MOSS Residential and Outreach Program: (August 11 - May 30)
Phase 2: Summer Placement Program: (June 1 - August 31). You will gain teaching experience, study ecology in a field setting, and develop leadership skills all while living in a spectacular natural environment. Participants earn 16 University of Idaho graduate credits and a Graduate Certificate in Environmental Education while completing service. This is a one-year, 1700 hour AmeriCorps position that provides a monthly stipend, basic medical insurance, and an education award upon completion of service. Apply today!

Priority Recruitment Closing Date: March 1, 2009
The Keck Geology Consortium has undergraduate research opportunities for approximately 47 geoscience students in a wide variety of geological sub-disciplines and locations.
Funding for this program comes from the NSF-REU program and the 18 member institutions. The Consortium is committed to accepting up to 30% non-Keck Member school students. The students should be juniors (seniors in 2008-2009) and US citizens or permanent residents.
The program includes 4 weeks of summer research (field and/or lab work depending on the project), continuing research during the academic year (jointly advised by a project faculty member and a sponsor at the students home institution), attendance at the annual Keck Geology Consortium Symposium, and a publication in the annual Keck Geology Consortium Abstract volume.
This year we have an exciting range of projects in many different sub-disciplines (climate, geophysics, petrology, geomorphology, paleontology, geochemistry and more), and in a wide range of locations (Oregon, Wisconsin, Mongolia, Alaska, Savalbard, and Colorado).
