This program offers students an opportunity to combine their schooling with work experience on either an alternating period of work and study or a part-time work schedule while going to school. Students who successfully complete the work period and graduate can become eligible to be non-competitively converted into a permanent workforce. Appointments can be made at the high school, college undergraduate, or graduate level. The objective of this program is to help teachers stimulate students interest in careers in science. The Teacher Research Fellowship Program enables science and math teachers to gain work experience in ARS labs.
Teachers get hands on training which complements the research of the scientist.
This program is available primarily in the Pacific West Area.
