Either way, you will have a great experience learning the ins and outs of research.  If you are even remotely considering grad school, this is a great way to test drive the concept and see if it really fits your life plan!  The positions are a four month posting, beginning in early May and ending late August.  Most jobs are based on campus (although some field work maybe involved, depending on the prof and program) and many students take the opportunity (in consultation with their prof) to catch up, or get ahead of, their program through spring and summer courses, so this can be an added benefit of the job.
