  • The Knowles Science Teaching Foundation (KSTF) is seeking applicants for Physical Science and Mathematics Teaching Fellows – individuals who have at least a bachelor’s degree in a physical science, engineering or mathematics and now want to teach science or mathematics in U.S. high schools.

    In addition, KSTF is recruiting for the new Biological Science Teaching Fellowships, which will begin in June 2008. KSTF seeks individuals with a comprehensive understanding of contemporary biology such as systems, computational or model-based biology. KSTF is looking for those with a
    commitment to changing the content and instructional focus of high school biology.

    KSTF was established in 1999 to strengthen the quality of science and mathematics teaching in the United States. KSTF Teaching Fellowships support individuals professionally and financially for up to five years through a teacher preparation program to eligibility for tenure.
