Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program

The McNair Scholars Program is recruiting for the 2009-2010 academic year.

This program prepares participants for doctoral studies through involvement in research and other scholarly activities. Participants are from disadvantaged backgrounds and have demonstrated strong academic potential. Institutions work cosely with participants as they complete their undergraduate requirements. Institutions encourage participants to enroll in graduate programs and then track their progress through to the successful completion of advanced degrees. The goal is to increase the attainment of Ph.D. degrees by students from underrepresented segments of society.

Missouri State University Research Ecperiences for Undergraduates in Mathematics

Research Experiences for Undergraduates is an NSF-sponsored program that provides students a unique opportunity to actively partivipate in cutting-edge mathematical research with faculty mentors and graduate students. At the end of this program, students will have developed a greater mathematical maturity and will be better prepared to pursue graduate studies. Historically, paricipation in an REU program has dramatically improved a student's attractiveness to graduate schools. Find more information at math.missouristate.edu/reu.

NASA-AESP

The Pennsylvania State University’s Center for Science and the Schools, in conjunction with NASA’s Aerospace Education Services Project (AESP), seeks to hire two individuals as Education Specialists. Openings exist at NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center in southern California and Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, with the likelihood of future openings at other NASA centers. These are 48 week non-tenure track academic appointments for one year with excellent possibility of renewal; all full-time University benefits apply.

AESP Education Specialists support the use of NASA instructional materials and programs by K-12 students, teachers, and the general public, with primary focus on the professional development of K-12 teachers of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) subjects. Responsibilities for these positions include working closely with higher education to strengthen pre-service and in-service teacher education, working with educators to plan and teach space-related content, working with NASA projects on K-12 programming, and facilitating collaborations between K-12 schools and scientists and engineers working in universities, industry, and NASA. Significant national travel is required: AESP Education Specialists deliver programs to schools in all 50 states and U.S. territories.

Required qualifications for these positions include Bachelor’s degree or higher in a STEM discipline or STEM education area, teaching certification in one or more U.S. states, at least 3 years of experience teaching STEM-related subjects, evidence of leadership experience in K-12 educational settings, and successful experience delivering professional development to K-12 teachers. Applicants must submit a letter of application documenting qualifications for the position, current curriculum vita, and at least three letters of reference. Materials should be sent to AESP Education Specialist Search, Dr. William Carlsen, 182 Chambers Building, University Park, PA 16802.
