M.S. Research Assistantship Available in West Virginia University’s Recreation, Parks, & Tourism Program
Starting Spring 2019! Environmental Education & Citizen Science We are recruiting for one M.S. assistantship to work on a project related to environmental education and citizen science (specifically related to streams and water quality). This innovative project uses citizen science as the broad “portal” into environmental engagement, education, and science. It will integrate a water quality monitoring citizen science project with environmental education activities and an environmental restoration opportunity to address education and ecological outcomes. The graduate student will help develop and lead both formal and informal environmental education activities for youth, work with stakeholders, and contribute to project evaluation efforts. Applicants should have a bachelor’s degree in a natural resource related field (either social science or biological science is acceptable), or a STEM education field. Applicants must have strong interpersonal and communication skills, as well as experience working with youth of different ages, preferably outdoors. This position begins Spring semester 2019. Assistantships require 20 hours of work/week, offer a tuition waiver and competitive salary/stipend.
