August 29, 2013

The UAF Job and Research Fair will take place from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Sept. 11 and 12 in the Wood Center multilevel lounge.

This event will provide an opportunity for students to talk to UAF departments, research units and other students about on-campus jobs, research opportunities and scholarly activities in their major or other fields of interest.

This year’s fair will feature poster presentations by UAF graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. These junior researchers are invited to showcase their projects with either a newly created poster or one presented at a meeting in the past year. This is an excellent opportunity for researchers to recruit undergraduate assistants to work in paid positions or through one of UAF’s many undergraduate research courses. Interested graduate students and postdocs should email their abstract to the URSA coordinator, Elizabeth Belknap, at eabelknap@alaska.edu. The deadline for registration is Sept. 9; sign up early because space is limited. All presenters will be entered to win one of two round-trip Alaska Airline tickets.

The fair is sponsored by Career Services, Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Activity, and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research. For more information contact Career Services at careerservices@uaf.edu or URSA at ursa.uaf@alaska.edu.
