Noyce Summer Internships
East Tennessee State University Noyce Summer Internships
The deadline for applications has been extended to Monday March 25
Application forms for Summer 2024 now available HERE
Seven ETSU undergraduates participated in the Noyce summer intern program. From left: Marissa Hankins (Physics), Dakota Barnes (Math), Anthony Vaughn (Physics), Daniel Waters (Physics), Ryan Carlock (Physics), Kevin Willis (Math), and James Daley (Chemistry).
The next application deadline (for summer 2024) will be March 15, 2024. Over the summer of 2024, a number of paid summer internships will be available through
the Noyce program for undergraduate Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics majors. Application
forms for summer 2024 are now available HERE.
This is a 5-week program, in which the intern will work at a local science museum/camp/educational
facility. The interns will lead classroom activities, make presentations, do demonstrations,
and assist the staff in a variety of tasks. The intern program will run for five
weeks, from approximately June 1-July 17, approximately 40 hours per week. Participants
will receive a stipend of $3000. For interns who live too far from campus to commute,
housing will be provided in the ETSU dorms free of charge for the duration of the
internship (courtesy of the College of Arts and Sciences).
Seven undergraduates participated in the Noyce intern program during Summer 2022.

Hayden Ferguson (Chemistry), Alexandria Marshall (Chemistry), Allen Oudom (Chemistry),
and Joshua Filoteo (Physics).
To learn more about their experiences as Noyce interns, watch this 16-minute-long video of interviews of the interns (video created by Jason Jones, ETSU Media Specialist, Academic Technology Services
at ETSU).
Potential host organizations include the Hands On Discovery Center in Gray Tennessee, the Renaissance Camp on the ETSU campus, the Langston Centre in Downtown Johnson City, the Gray Fossil Site/Natural History Museum in Gray Tennessee, Science Hill High School Summer School, and the Upward Bound program on the ETSU campus. All ETSU students majoring in Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics are eligible, except for graduating seniors and students who have taken a course
through the Education College. This intern program is specifically targeting students
who have never taken a course in education. Students must have been enrolled at ETSU
during Fall 2023 to be eligible as an intern for summer 2024, and they must be planning
to enroll again during Fall 2024 as undergraduates.
Application forms for summer 2024 are now available HERE.
Note that the application form will ask for two letters of reference from faculty.
Before filling out the application form, ask your references if they are willing to
provide a reference for you. After you submit your application, your recommenders
will receive automatic requests for letters of reference from the application software.
This automatic request will come via email from Dr. Beverly Smith, so warn your recommenders
to expect this email. Since the members of the Noyce team will be reviewing the
applications, do not ask anyone on the Noyce team (Dr. Beverly Smith, Dr. Scott Kirkby,
Dr. Moin Uddin, or Dr. Jamie Price) for a letter of reference. Instead, ask other
faculty members.
The Noyce application form will also ask for an unofficial copy of your ETSU transcript,
in pdf format. To produce this document, go to Goldlink, and display your transcript
in your browser. Then hit the "print" button, and in the "destination" box, hit the
"pdf" option. Then save the file.
Four undergraduates participated as Noyce interns during summer 2021. From left to

Elizabeth Rutherford (Math Major), and Joseph Porter (Engineering/Health Sciences
double major).
