Post-Graduation Opportunity

This is from a friend at Valparaiso University:

We are starting a new Education Masters program this June. The target audience is people with STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) degrees who have no teaching license but would like to teach in middle or high school. The candidates should have a willingness to teach in high need (mostly urban, possibly rural) Indiana school districts. 

The program is approximately a year long, full time. There is a $36,500 scholarship associated with the program which is to cover tuition and some other expenses. There is a three-year teaching commitment after the degree. 

Applications are considered after December 2. and after January 31.

If you know anyone who might be interested please let them know about this program. Feel free to share the information off the list.

For more information, please contact me or see http://www.valpo.edu/grad/ed/woodrowwilson.php

Undergrads: submit to SIURO-SIAM Undergraduate Research Online

Greetings,

As an M³ Challenge judge, SIAM thought you might also encourage undergraduate students to publish their exceptional research in applied or computational mathematics.  If this applies to you, please encourage your undergraduates to submit their work to SIURO—SIAM Undergraduate Research Online.

An open-access publication devoted to the work of undergrads, SIURO includes research in areas such as mathematical biology, statistics, operations research, optimization, dynamical systems, and modeling. Applications include physical, life, financial, and management sciences, as well as engineering.  We also consider expository papers written by a professor or researcher for an undergraduate audience that feature a survey topic or a subject of historical interest.

Students who submit papers to SIURO experience a full review process tailored for undergraduate authors who:

·        Prepare the submission, including paper, cover letter and mentor letter
·        Correspond with an Associate Editor
·        Receive referee reports from faculty or industry referees
·        Respond to referee reports and handle revisions

Papers are posted to SIURO as they are accepted, with a short refereeing turnaround time.  Subscription and access are free and open to the public.

More on the submission process, the editorial board, and viewable published papers can be accessed at www.siam.org/students/siuro.

Sincerely,

Rachel Levy
Editor-in-Chief

Office of Science/Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists 2014 Summer Term Internship/Fellowship Opportunities at Department of Energy Laboratories

The Office of Science / Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) is pleased to announce that it is accepting applications to its 2014 Summer Term internship/fellowship opportunities at Department of Energy (DOE) Laboratories. These competitive, paid internships, are for 10 weeks during the Summer Term (May to August timeframe), and include support for travel and housing.

The three programs accepting applications are:

·         Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI),
·         Community College Internships (CCI); and
·         Visiting Faculty Program (VFP).

Applications for these three programs must be completed and submitted online by 5:00 PM ET on January 10, 2014 (including all required application materials and recommendations).

·         The Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) program encourages undergraduate students to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers by providing research experiences, under the guidance of laboratory staff scientists or engineers, on projects supporting the DOE mission.  Paid internships, including a weekly stipend and support for travel and housing, are for 10 weeks during the Summer Term (May to August timeframe).  More information about SULI and access to the online application can be found at http://science.energy.gov/wdts/suli/. 

·         The Community College Internship (CCI) program encourages community college students to enter technical careers relevant to the DOE mission by providing technical training experiences at the DOE Labs.  Students work on technologies or instrumentation projects or major research facilities related to ongoing R&D programs. Paid internships, including a weekly stipend and support for travel and housing, are for 10 weeks during the Summer Term (May to August timeframe). More information about CCI and access to the online application can be found at http://science.energy.gov/wdts/cci/.

·         The Visiting Faculty Program (VFP) seeks to increase the research competitiveness of faculty members and their students at institutions historically underrepresented in the research community in order to expand the workforce vital to the DOE mission areas.  In this program, selected university/college faculty members collaborate with DOE laboratory research staff on a research project of mutual interest. Faculty member participants may invite up to two students (one of which may be a graduate student) to participate in the research project. Applicants establish their collaborations with laboratory research staff in advance of applying and must submit a co-developed research proposal as part of the application. Students apply separately at the invitation of the faculty member. Paid internships, including a weekly stipend and support for travel and housing, are for 10 weeks during the Summer Term (May to August timeframe). More information about the VFP and access to the online application can be found at http://science.energy.gov/wdts/vfp/.

The SULI, CCI and VFP programs are sponsored and managed by the DOE Office of Science's, Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) in collaboration with the DOE laboratories. The Department of Energy's Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States, and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time.
