KSTF is looking for those with a commitment to changing the content and instructional focus of high school biology.

Applicants should have received their most recent content (i.e., science, mathematics or engineering) degree within the past five years (between Spring 2004 and Summer 2009). An applicant might also be in the final year of an undergraduate, master's, combined BS with MAT or MEd program or near the completion of a doctoral program. Applicants who will be in their first year of teaching in academic year 2009-2010 are also eligible.

Applicants must be enrolled or plan to enroll in a recognized teacher education program that leads to a secondary science or mathematics teaching license.
