The American Meteorological Society's 93rd annual meeting will be held January 6-10, 2012 in Austin, Texas. As in previous years, the Society will sponsor a Career Fair at the beginning of the meeting.
From the AMS Member Services group:
Participating in the AMS Career Fair is the perfect way for your organization to attract the attention of more than 3,000 professionals, recent graduates, and current students expected to attend the AMS Annual Meeting. The AMS Career Fair provides an environment to showcase full-time and part-time job opportunities, internships, graduate programs, and professional development opportunities. Whether you have jobs to fill or career advice to share, our attendees want to talk to you!
The Career Fair opens on Saturday, January 5, with a reception for the more than 500 graduate students and junior and senior undergraduate students expected to attend the 12th Annual AMS Student Conference. The Career Fair continues on Sunday, January 6 and Monday, January 7 and is open to all Annual Meeting attendees. The hours of operation for Saturday through Monday are as follows:
- Saturday 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
- Sunday 5:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.
- Monday 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
We invite you to take advantage of this opportunity to promote your organization and to network with qualified applicants. Registration is free of charge to Sustaining, Regular, and Small Business AMS Corporation and Institutional Members (CIMs); the registration fee for all other organizations, including Publication CIMs, is $100. All recruiters are provided with one 6-foot table, two chairs, and post-conference access to Career Fair attendee resumes. To reserve space at the 2013 event, please complete a reservation form and return it by email to bfarley@ametsoc.org or by fax to 617-742-8718 no later than November 15, 2012. Space is limited so requests will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Specific information about the Career Fair will be emailed to you after we receive your reservation.
If you are unable to reserve table space or if you can't attend the Annual Meeting, simply provide us with a copy of your job announcement(s) by December 1 and we'll post them to our "Positions Available" board. Please submit job postings as an attached Word document or PDF by email to careerfair@ametsoc.org and include information on how interested applicants may contact you. Those recruiters who are attending the meeting but cannot meet the deadline may drop off their announcement during Sunday and Monday's hours of operation.
