PART-TIME JOB OPPORTUNITY FOR PENN UNDERGRADS

The Penn Positive Psychology Center is looking to hire 1-2 Penn undergraduates to help coordinate our resilience training programs this Summer, and into the Fall and Spring. This is an excellent opportunity to build your resume while learning valuable skills for your future career. There is also the possibility that students can continue beyond graduation in a part-time or full-time position.

The first annual American Center for Mongolian Studies (ACMS) interdisciplinary Mongolia Field School will be held from July 29-August 16, 2019 in Mongolia. The Field School is open to all participants, including undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and life-long learners interested in academic studies and research that explore Mongolia’s unique history, culture and contemporary issues.

Princeton Neuroscience Institute (PNI) is offering a summer internship program for highly motivated undergraduates, providing education and hands-on research experience in the field of neuroscience. Participants will closely collaborate with students and faculty at PNI on original research projects, and thereby gain invaluable first-hand experience on what it is like to be a neuroscientist.

The Summer Research Opportunities Program (SROP) is a gateway to graduate education at Big Ten Academic Alliance universities. The goal of the program is to increase the number of underrepresented students who pursue graduate study and research careers. SROP helps prepare undergraduates for graduate study through intensive research experiences with faculty mentors and enrichment activities.

The Penn IUR Fellows in Urban Leadership Program, open to rising Penn sophomores, juniors, and seniors in all schools, engages a small cohort of selected students with high-level local, regional, and national leaders drawn from government, business, and civil society to discuss decision-making in urban places.

From the inception of the Urban Studies Program at Penn, connecting theory and practice has been one of our guiding principles. In this spirit, we offer the Gordon Fellowship, sponsored by alumnus Jacques Gordon (URBS1978) and his family. Winners of the Gordon Fellowship will receive a $5,000 stipend to explore careers that would lead to improving the quality of life in cities, whether in the public, non-profit, or private sectors and will benefit from career mentoring through alumni activities during the school year. 

Applications are not currently being accepted.

The Nano-CEMMS Center runs two summer programs for undergraduate students: The Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) and The Summer Research Opportunities Program (SROP). 

These programs are designed and supervised by the faculty and graduate students of the Center. Both offer opportunities for students to present their research.
