Undergraduate Research Experiences Off-Campus

The PSU Biology Department maintains a mailing list, Biology Opportunities.

This list serves biology students and people interested in biology opportunities. We post regional opportunities (Oregon and PNW) as well as paid and volunteer opportunities from around the world. The jobs posted here cover a wide range of organisms (microbes, plants, and animals) and conceptual areas (ecology, evolution, genetics, cell and molecular biology).
