Athough not specifically a weed science opportunity, I wanted to repost an announcement for the 2012 University of California Cooperative Extension Horticulture Almond Internship Program. This six-month internship opportunity, sponsored by UC Cooperative Extension and the Almond Board of California, would be a great opportunity for a graduate or undergraduate student interested in research and extension careers.
From the announcement:This paid internship offers the successful candidate an opportunity to learn about and assist with cutting edge research and education programs in tree crop production, sustainable agriculture, integrated pest management, soil and water sciences, and other disciplines. The intern will also participate in educational and outreach efforts to educate farmers, pest control professionals, and the general public regarding scientific findings and improved methodologies of crop production and environmental protection. Working closely with experienced Cooperative Extension Farm Advisors, the intern will learn about the latest in agricultural practices and technologies pertaining to almonds and other tree crops.
More information on the internship as well as links to the position description and application proecess can be found here: http://ucanr.org/sites/almondinternship/ The deadline for applications is April 16, 2012.
Take care,
Brad
