Career Resources

Looking for an internship or a job? 

TSUSP and PSU have a variety of resources to support your internship or job search: 

• USP Non-Campus Jobs list: This Google Group is our primary tool for distributing job and internship postings. All TSUSP undergraduate majors or graduate students are automatically enrolled, and may stay on the list after they graduate or leave PSU, and unsubscribe whenever they wish. Are you a TSUSP student but not receiving emails from here? Email askusp@pdx.edu to confirm your enrollment on the list.
• MURP LinkedIn group: Current and former MURP students may join this group, which contains profiles of hundreds of MURP alumni from around the world, and often includes job or internship postings.
• PSU Career Center: All PSU students may utilize this resource, which includes a variety of internship and job search resources. 

Non-PSU job boards related to Urban Studies and Planning:

• Oregon APA - https://oregon.planning.org/jobs/posts/ 
• Oregon Planners Network listserv - https://oregon.planning.org/knowledge/opn/ 
• Idealist - https://www.idealist.org/ 
• Housing Oregon - https://housingoregon.org/job-listings/

Have an internship or job to post?

To distribute an internship or job posting to current students and recent graduates, email your posting to askusp@pdx.edu and we will distribute it to the Non-Campus Jobs list. In general, we do not refer individual students for positions. 

Make sure your post:

• Has a subject line that clearly states the "what" and "where": ie, "job title, agency/firm, location" - this makes it easier to forward. (don’t put “please distribute”);
• Specifies compensation rate and expectations for time commitment (if part-time and/or a temporary position);
• Spells out timetable for review;
• Has a point of contact for questions.
