The Department of Invertebrate Paleontology at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles Country is offering part-time (6 hrs/week) internships in Invertebrate Paleontology beginning in Summer 2017 at the Museum’s off-site collection facility in Carson, CA Interns will work directly with marine fossils from the collections to meet the goals of two ongoing NSF grants: Documenting Fossil Marine Invertebrate Communities of the Eastern Pacific and Curating the Cretaceous Sea of California

This invertebrate fossil collection is the largest paleontological collection of its kind in Southern California and ranks among the biggest in the nation at over 7 million fossils. Most of the collection’s fossils are mollusks from the last 100 million years of California’s geologic history. The NSF grants will digitize (catalog and photograph) these fossils to make them accessible to researchers and for education. Interns will report to the Invertebrate Paleontology collections managers.

Training:

• Learn how to identify fossil marine invertebrates; mostly snails, clams, urchins and crabs.
• Learn how to use databases, perform data entry, and maintain high standards of data quality.
• Learn methods for georeferencing, locality description, and basic GIS data management.
• Learn how to handle and organize natural history collections.
• Participate in webinars on digitization and biodiversity data.

Qualifications:

• Interest in biology, geology, paleontology, natural history, and/or museums
• Reliability
• Attention to detail
• Eagerness to learn
• Transportation to and from the Carson, CA facility

Outcomes:

• A successful internship can seek to earn academic credit within their degree program
• Mentorship by museum professionals and staff scientists
• Unique experience working in one of the largest Invertebrate Paleontology collections in the United States

How to Apply:

Applicants should email a cover letter describing their interest and suitability for this internship, and the name and contact information for one potential reference to the Invertebrate Paleontology Assistant Collections Manager Katy Estes-Smargiassi (kestes@nhm.org).

Our Mission

Peer Health Exchange’s mission is to empower young people with the knowledge, skills, and resources to make healthy decisions.

We do this by training college students to teach a skills-based health curriculum in under-resourced high schools across the country.

Our Vision

Peer Health Exchange, with our partners, will advance health equity and improve health outcomes for young people.

Core Values

Our core values form the foundation of our organizational culture and guide our approach to achieving our mission and vision.

Health

We believe that all young people deserve equal access to the knowledge, skills, and resources that support their physical and mental well-being. In partnership with communities, we exist to help young people achieve more positive and equitable health outcomes.

Equity

We believe that all young people deserve equitable opportunities to learn about and act for their health. For our part in that work, we deliver a culturally appropriate, trauma-informed curriculum that focuses on the barriers facing the most marginalized youth. To do so, we address the effects of power and privilege in our work and strive to be anti-racist, anti-nationalist, anti-queerphobic, anti-transphobic, anti-sexist, anti-classist, and anti-ableist.

Agency

We believe in the potential of every young person. We work to empower young people to make active, informed choices about their health. In turn, we recognize the value each one of us brings to our work. We commit to making full use of our own agency as individuals and as an organization in service of our goals.

Communication

We rely on direct and honest exchange for all that we do. We value communication as essential to articulating our vision and goals, forming strong relationships, working through challenges, and learning from and with our young people and partners.

Impact

We know that achieving long-term success will require reflection, innovation, and sustained effort. To further our impact, we hold ourselves to meaningful and measurable outcomes, evaluate our successes and challenges openly, and act on what we learn.

History

In 1999, six Yale undergraduates began teaching health workshops in New Haven public schools in order to fill the gap left by an underfunded, understaffed district health program. In 2003, the founding members of the group established Peer Health Exchange to replicate this successful program in other communities with unmet health education needs. Since then, we have trained more than 8,500 college student volunteers to deliver effective health education to over 100,000 public high school students in New York City, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Washington, DC, seeing strong initial results.
