STAR Program Applications
Paid Summer Experiences for Aspiring Science and Mathematics Teachers
Applications will be available next week for students interested in
applying to the 2012 STEM Teacher and Researcher (STAR) Program. This
program is run by Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on behalf of the California
State University system in partnership with the US Department of
Energy, NASA, NOAA, and NSF. This program places pre-service science
and math teachers in paid summer research experiences at national
laboratory facilities in California, Colorado, and Washington.
This unique opportunity is specifically for students who are committed
to teaching science or mathematics and meet one or more of the
following affiliation requirements:
• CSU student/graduate (Undergraduate, Credential or Masters level)
• Noyce Scholar
• STAR Alum with one or two previous program placements
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 experiences involving laboratory research. The research
experience is integrated with weekly science teaching and education
workshops to build and enhance teaching skills, career achievement and
community building among STAR fellows, researchers, and faculty. STAR
Fellows share their research and research-connected lesson plans with
their colleagues at a closing conference involving all STAR
participants.
STAR fellows will spend 9 weeks participating on research teams at a
federal laboratory or research center. STAR fellows will be paid a
$4,500 stipend for the 9-week program commitment. Housing costs, if
needed, and some travel will also be supported.
Over the past five summers, STAR has successfully arranged 194
placements for CSU students at 12 laboratory sites. This summer, the
program will include the following sites:
* Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL)
* Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)
* NASA Ames Research Center (ARC)
* NASA Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC)/Edwards Air Force Base
* NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
* National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)
* NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center/NOAA labs
* Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)
* Romberg Tiburon Center for Environmental Studies (RTC)
* Sandia National Laboratories, California (SNL)
* SETI Institute
* SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
* UC Davis Center for Biophotonics Science and Technology
Important Dates:
· Applications Available December 12th, 2011
· STAR Live Informational Webinar from LLNL, date TBA
· STAR Information Session/Open Houses: Friday, January 27th (at ARC;
