<br>
The California State University, in partnership with the US Department of
Energy national research laboratories, NSF, NASA, federal agencies, and private
research organizations, is announcing the 2010 Science Teacher and Researcher
(STAR) pre-service and early career science teacher summer research program.<br>
<br>
This unique opportunity is specifically for students who are committed to
science or mathematics teaching and meet one of the following affiliation requirements:<br>
• CSU student
(Undergraduate, Credential or Masters level)<br>
• Noyce Scholars anywhere
in California<br>
• STAR Alumni<br>
<br>
The central goal of the STAR program is to provide aspiring and early career
science and mathematics teachers with the opportunity to engage in paid summer
internships involving laboratory research. The research experience is
integrated with weekly science teaching and education workshops to develop
teaching skills, enhance career achievement, build community among STAR fellows
and mentors, and explore the teacher-researcher model.<br>
<br>
STAR interns will spend 8-9 weeks (depending upon the research site) participating
with a research team at a federal laboratory or research center in California.
STAR interns will be paid a $4,000-$4,500 stipend for the 8-9 week
program commitment. Housing costs, if needed, and some travel may also be
supported.<br>
<br>
Over the past three summers, STAR has successfully arranged roughly 80
placements for CSU students at 8 laboratory sites. This summer, the
program has expanded to include the following sites:<br>
