CAREER CORNER ATTENTION STUDENTS
| The following information is available to students potentially interested in science careers.
The first career information site run completely by undergraduates was launched November 1, 2005 by the Journal of Young Investigators (JYI). JYI is an undergraduate-run, peer-reviewed science journal published monthly online (http://www.jyi.org). Funded by the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, the Science Center (SCC) is targeting undergraduate students pursuing a career in a scientific field. The SCC currently provides up-to-date information about science career areas and includes statistics, interviews, and feature articles pertaining to careers in academia, science communication, industry, teaching, and the government. The site also contains monthly columns written by science professionals. A special Resources section is dedicated to helping undergraduates find links to job and internship sites. These sites are all personally rated by SCC staff. The SCC will increase the availability of science career-related information to undergraduates in the hopes that more students will opt to pursue science careers. Over the next year, the site is scheduled for massive development in the form of articles written and requested by undergraduates. The SCC can be accessed at http://www.jyi.org/SCC/Index.php Career Resource Center |
