Paid Summer Internships for Aspiring 

Science and Mathematics Teachers



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.

This unique opportunity is specifically for students who are committed to
science or mathematics teaching and meet one of the following affiliation
requirements:
.        CSU student (Undergraduate, Credential or Masters level)
.        Noyce Scholars anywhere in California
.        STAR Alumni

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.

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.

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:



* Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL)
* Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)
* NASA Ames Research Center (ARC)
* NASA Dryden Flight Research Center
* NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
* Romberg Tiburon Center
* Sandia National Laboratories
* SETI Institute
* SLAC National Linear Accelerator Center

 

Here are a few important dates to keep in mind if you are considering
applying for STAR:

.         STAR Application Due Date (for all lab sites): Sunday, January 31,
2010

.         Supplementary Application to LBNL (Berkeley): Sunday, January 31,
2010

.         Summer Program Dates: Monday, June 14 - Saturday, August 7, 2010

(LBNL participants will extend one additional week to August 13th)
