Letter of Recommendation
Graduate Students Currently Seeking Industry-Supported Summer Internships/ Permanent Employment Graduate Internships - Graduate Internships are available to well-qualified graduate students at both the masters and doctoral levels. Houston is home to the largest concentration of geoscientists in the world and provides unique opportunities for interaction between university researchers and energy company scientists. Internships involve students working with departmental faculty and a corporate sponsor on a collaborative research project. Students carry out their research both on campus and in the sponsor's laboratories to ensure access to a comprehensive set of analytical and computational facilities. A range of projects are currently available in both geology and geophysics. Students use internships to develop a fuller understanding of the scope of activities carried out by the corporate sponsor. The amount, eligibility conditions and benefits associated with each internship vary. Applicants for Internships must be full time graduate students who are either US citizens or permanent residents.

Student Research Day
Student Research Day has become a UH Geosciences tradition. Each Spring semester graduate and undergraduate students present the results of their research projects in a national meeting format.
Graduate research day is scheduled each year during April (please check the events calendar for more information). Scholarship awards are given for the best geological and geophysical talks. It is usually followed by the annual alumni night at the Mucky Duck.
