Paleontological Society Geoscience Policy Internship [at the American Geosciences Institute]

The Paleontological Society will support one of its student members to become a Geoscience Policy Intern at the American Geosciences Institute in summer 2019. The intern will take on substantive work while at AGI. They will be immersed in the policy-making process in
Washington, DC, where they will observe, study, and report on how policy making intersects with and affects the geosciences. They will hone their writing and web publishing skills while gaining first-hand policy experience and improving their understanding of the legislative process.

Applicants must be current student members of the Paleontological Society. Applicants must be eligible to work in the United States, and currently enrolled in or have recently completed an undergraduate or graduate geoscience-related degree program. The total salary for the 12-week internship is $5,000. The start date is flexible and will be determined based on the schedule of
the successful applicant.

The internship is based at AGI’s headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia, on the outskirts of Washington, DC.

To apply, visit www.americangeosciences.org/policy/internships-and-fellowships, click on the “Apply Here” link for the Summer Paleontological Society Geoscience Policy Internship.

Select “Summer 2019 AGI/Paleontological Society Geoscience Policy Internship” from the pull-
down menu on the application form.

Application deadline: March 1, 2019

AGI’s Geoscience Policy program represents the shared interests of the geoscience community in Washington, D.C., and actively works with Congress and federal agencies to foster better communication and public policy for the geosciences in areas including water, energy and
mineral resources, natural hazards, environmental protection, and federal funding for geoscience research and education.

The Paleontological Society

Dear Colleagues/ PS Students,

The Paleontological Society is soliciting nominations for a Student Representative to Council.

Eligibility: We encourage nominations from paleontology graduate students who are early-mid stage in their graduate programs from all backgrounds and institutions, particularly those that have historically been under-represented on the Paleontological Society Council.

The Role: Student Representatives serve as voices for student needs in the Society and play leading roles in student activities including organizing student events at the Geological Society of America Conference. Student Representatives are further encouraged to develop and lead new student initiatives. In this role, students gain knowledge of the inner-workings of an international organization and experience in professional service.

The selected Student Representative (who will start her/his role in the Fall) will join current Student Representative Bridget Kelly and serve a two-year term. Student Representatives attend two Council meetings per year (one during fall at the Geological Society of America Conference and the other during spring in Bethesda, MD).

Application: Please submit 1) a cover sheet listing your name, degree (MS, MA, PhD, etc.), expected graduation year, and email address, 2) a short letter of nomination from the student’s academic mentor or other faculty member at the student’s home institution and 3) a concise essay (of no more than 500 words) written by the student detailing interest in the role, previous experience with professional service (if any), and what the student hopes to accomplish through her/his service.

Applications should be sent by the student’s nominator as a single PDF to current Student Representative, Kristopher Kusnerik at kmkusnerik -at- ufl -dot- edu with the subject line “Student Representative Nomination (insert student’s name)”. Deadline for consideration is February 18, 2019.

The Student Representative will be selected in March. Please feel free to contact Kris with any additional questions at the above email.

Sincerely,
Kristopher Kusnerik & Bridget Kelly
Student Representatives

Research more, grade less?

Finish one juvenile and one adult stegosaur pelvis. Find new cretaceous dig site. Work to rescind the recent 9th circuit court opinion on ownership of fossils.

I want to learn more even at 64

Get as many days in the field as possible!

Working on my GIS prediction model using museum collection databases for the White River Group! Any help would be awesome!

To collect eurypterids and publish and paleobotany project

My goal for 2019: 4.000 fans for GeoHorizon ❤️

Make a paleo- scientific article haha!

Publish my thesis chapters!

To be able to get a perpetrator placement, anywhere.

Writing my bachelor thesis on Ankylosaurs and convergent evolution

Finally get this last set of revisions out of my hair. The manuscript's been more or less complete for a whole year...just a series of tweaks.

Have fewer bones to pick ...

Successfully defend my Master’s thesis this spring.

Find someone to do a PhD project under
