Opportunities
For interested
UCLA students, the center has staff and volunteer positions in the CSRC
Library, the administrative offices, and research projects. If interested,
please contact Associate Director Carlos
Manuel Haro, Ph.D.
- The CSRC Library has volunteers and staff, under
the supervision of the Librarian, including library studies internships
(for students who can receive credit from their Library Studies program),
undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in different
functions of the unit and may want to learn how to better use information
and data resources, and friends of the Library (non-students). Volunteers
and interns may assist with library management, book acquisition and
cataloguing, reference services, and work on archival collections. There
are a range of special collections that would be of interest to students
in the humanities, social sciences and the arts. Contact the Librarian,
Dr. Yolanda Retter-Vargas, directly if you can volunteer time in the
Library or with our special collections. Dr. Retter-Vargas is at (310)
206-6052 or e-mail at yretter@chicano.ucla.edu
- CSRC Community and Academic Relations accepts student
volunteers to assist with planning and implementing faculty exchanges/presentations,
graduate student presentations, forums, special events and conferences,
both on and off campus, that allow for the dissemination of knowledge
in Chicano Studies and promote the partnership between the Chicano Studies
Research Center and community groups and agencies. This would include
the UCLA Partnership Project with Self-Help Graphics, an archival project
of Chicano art.
- The CSRC Administrative Office accepts volunteers
to work on its research projects in a range of functions, from working
on proposals to assisting faculty and visiting postdoctoral fellows
with the implementation of research projects. Volunteers also contribute
by assisting with office management and information services at the
main office. Some students who join faculty on their research projects
may also arrange to receive independent studies credit with the professor
as part of their volunteer contributions to the research project (this
requires completion of specified course requirements). There are a number
of paid student office and research positions. Office and research assistants
are part time positions and are filled by UCLA students.
