Seven undergraduates are participating in the Noyce intern program during Summer 2022.  Left  to right: Xavier Hurley (Physics), Hannah Blair (Chemistry), Grant Shirley (Math), Hayden Ferguson (Chemistry), Alexandria Marshall (Chemistry), Allen Oudom (Chemistry), and Joshua Filoteo (Physics.

The next application deadline for the Noyce intern program will be March 15, 2023 for summer 2023. 
For the summer of 2023, a number of paid summer internships will be  available for ETSU undergraduates majoring in Physics, Chemistry, or Mathematics.   This is a 5-week program, in which the student will be working at a local science museum/camp/education facility.  As an intern, they will be leading classroom activities, making presentations, doing demonstrations, and other activities.  The intern program will run for five weeks, from approximately June 1 to July 17, approximately 40 hours per week.   Participants will receive a stipend of $3000.     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, Bays Mountain Park in Kingsport Tennessee, the Gray Fossil Site/Natural History Museum in Gray Tennessee, 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 2022 to be eligible as an intern for summer 2023, and they must be planning to enroll again during Fall 2023 as undergraduates.
 THE APPLICATION DEADLINE FOR SUMMER 2022 HAS PASSED; THE DEADLINE FOR SUMMER 2023 will be March 15, 2023.
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. Scott Kirkby, 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.

Four undergraduates participated as Noyce interns during summer 2021.  From left to right: Simeon Ignace (Physics/Math double major), Colby Cox (Physics major), Amber Elizabeth Rutherford (Math Major), and Joseph Porter (Engineering/Health Sciences double major). 

Applications for Summer 2022 are due March 15, 2022.   Application forms are now available here.
