The Master of Arts in Teaching Earth Science Residency Program in the Richard Gilder Graduate School at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City is looking for graduates with Earth and space science backgrounds (geology, mineralogy, paleontology, oceanography, astronomy, environmental geology, and more) who want to make a difference in the world of STEM education. This teaching fellowship combines coursework, mentoring, and real-world experience to prepare Earth and space science graduates for rewarding careers as culturally responsive middle and high school teachers.
All degree candidates will receive free tuition, books, and a $30,000 living stipend. In return, candidates commit to teaching in a high-needs school for three years.
With a sole focus on preparing new Earth science teachers, the program is a full-time, 15-month Master's degree program that takes place at the Museum and in urban partner schools. We seek a student body with a passion for social justice and diverse life and career experiences. The application is open to all candidates meeting the eligibility requirements.
We are currently accepting applicants for the class that will begin in June 2022. Prospective students are encouraged to attend an Information Session or to contact us for more information.
