Summer Research Opportunity in Alabama

The School of Public Health in the University of Alabama at Birmingham is offering a summer research internship for students interested in studying neighborhood poverty and its impact on adolescent behavior. Students who participate in the internship, which is in its 11th year, will conduct a
survey of adolescents living in public housing and other very low-income neighborhoods in Mobile and Prichard, Alabama.

Interns, who may be either undergraduate or graduate students, will be required to live
in Mobile between May 19, 2008 and August 1, 2008.

Each student who participates will receive a stipend ($7.50 per hour) to cover living expenses. We are happy to work with students desiring course credit, although this should be arranged through their home universities. International students must contact the International Student Offices at their own university and at the University of Alabama at Birmingham to determine whether they are eligible to participate, and to arrange all of the paperwork for them to be paid. General work hours are between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with some limited weekend work required. They will accept 20-30 student interns into the program.

Interested students should send a note indicating their interest and a resume (with names of and contact information for three references). They will begin screening applicants on March 17 2008,
