So I am deciding on what I should do next summer between my junior and senior year. I am going abroad next semester, and it will be difficult for me to find internships while I'm away, I want to have my summer plans set before I go. But the summer after junior year is the summer to do something important, so this is a big decision.

Here are my choices right now.
1. I was recently offered a position in the corporate end at JPMorganChase.
2. Returning to the job I had last summer, doing research at a university.
3. keep looking

My dilemma, in addition to going abroad, is that at this point I am seriously considering graduate school, an MS or MEng, but potentially PhD. However, I would also like more experience that isn't research. But if I do decide on graduate school, having a professor whom I have worked with for 2 summers would be a great resource for recommendations and would show my research capabilities. But, JPMorganChase is a great addition to my resume....

any advice would be appreciated!

First of all, congrats on receiving an offer this early. Honestly, in this market, i'd say take the offer. You may change your mind about going to graduate school if given a full-time offer. JPM has tuition reimbursement, so that might be something to consider.

But it is ultimately up to you.
