Join ECOSS and gain career ready skills!

The Center for Ecosystem Science and Society (ECOSS) provides valuable undergraduate experiences in ecosystems and climate ecology. Currently there are three avenues to work with ECOSS as an undergraduate student:  student worker positions in the Laboratory or field, The ECOSS mentoring program, and ESSTE.

Student worker Positions

To become an undergraduate student worker in ECOSS, reach out to labs that interest you to find out if they are hiring. You can also search for jobs posted by our labs here: https://joinhandshake.com/ (keyword search “ECOSS”).

 

Student workers process samples from ongoing aquatic science research at the Eel River in California.

ECOSS Student Mentoring Program

In the ECOSS mentoring program, undergraduates work with a graduate student mentor to develop professional and career ready skills as well as to conduct cutting edge ecosystem science. Undergraduates and graduate students will participate in a 1 credit seminar class as a group and will also work one on one with their mentor/mentee. For more information about the program email the program coordinator Jack Torresdal. (jack.torresdal@nau.edu).

The Ecological and Social Science Training and Education program (ESSTE)

ESSTE is a three semester program that includes two seminar classes and a paid internship. ESSTE offers students opportunities to meet researchers and working professionals in career fields that manage landscapes, ecosystems, and communities in the forested southwest.
