Scientist-in-Residence (SiR)

This program matches scientists with classroom teachers and supports them in developing a year-long project with students.

If you are a graduate student, postdoc, or STEM professional and want to make a difference in the lives of students in the NYC area, then this program is for you! We’ll match you with a motivated STEM teacher, and together you’ll create a hands-on, research-based project for your students to work on throughout the year.

By serving as a role model and an example of a real-world scientist, you can inspire curiosity and excitement about STEM topics and positively influence the career aspirations of students from underserved communities. Through the program, you’ll receive training and hands-on experience in teaching methods and strategies, and get the chance to develop your own mentorship skills.

Need more incentive? Accepted scientists will also receive a stipend and a year-long membership to The New York Academy of Sciences!

Deadline to apply is Friday, May 29th
