CMSE Graduate Research Fellowship

The Center for Mathematics and Science Education (CMSE) at the University of Mississippi seeks to improve the quality of mathematics and science education in Mississippi by promoting an interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields.  To achieve this mission, the CMSE works closely with students, current teachers and administrators, and those involved in preparing teachers for the future. 

Additionally, the CMSE offers graduate fellowships to students pursuing a masters or doctorate in mathematics education, science education, or elementary education (with an emphasis in math or science). These are competitive fellowships in which professionals with exemplary skills as a mathematics or science teacher and a passion for teaching and learning are recruited. Those who possess a desire to see students succeed and an excitement about teaching mathematics and/or science can be infectious. These are the qualities that the CMSE looks for when recruiting fellows. 

Visit our website for more information and to access the fellowship application. Deadline to apply is March 15.

International Particle Physics Masterclass

High school teachers are welcome and encouraged to bring their class to the University of Mississippi campus for an international particle physics masterclass on March 24, 2023! Students will become “scientists for a day”, learn about the fundamental particles that make up all matter in the universe, and perform hands-on activities with real data collected at a world-leading experiment. At the end of the day, they will join a video conference with groups joining similar masterclasses around the US and beyond! No background in physics is required. Come join the University of Mississippi Department of Physics and Astronomy for an afternoon of exploration and fun!
