Searching for the Job

There are various resources available to help you find a career in your area of expertise. If you can't find what you need here, contact your advisor; he or she may know of recent job openings, or other resources to check.

Staff in the Department of Natural Resources regularly update a loose-leaf notebook with local and nationwide job announcements that faculty and staff receive in the mail or via e-mail. These announcements include jobs, internships, practicum, and volunteer work. This notebook is located in the main office, 215 James Hall, on the bookshelf to the left as you walk inside the door.
