Get an Internship or go to Grad school in the Wildlife, Ornithology or Animal Behavior Field!

When I was an undergrad I didn't know how I would make my way into graduate school and become an ornithologist, but I started applying for internships right after my Junior year to do anything I could on birds. No job was too far, and no work was too menial as long as it paid some money (I couldn't afford to not earn money during my summers). I applied for at least 15 jobs that first year and ended up taking a bus from New York to North Dakota and spent an amazing summer finding bird's nests and living in a mostly empty house with a swamped basement. That summer was my first taste of real  working field biology and I never went back. That job also led to my next job, grad school, and a career. For that reason I started this page with links to help Pitt-Johnstown student's find quality internships and jobs.  I update these links semi-regularly. If you notice anything needs to be updated feel free to send me an email!
