> Junction is a project of the Educational Studies Program (ESP), an MIT student group that connects undergraduate and graduate students who want to teach to middle school and high school students who want to learn. Junction, which is geared towards motivated high schoolers, runs four nights per week for roughly six weeks during the summer (exact dates TBD; last year's program ran July 9 through August 16)
> 
> Junction hires two types of teachers: core teachers and seminar teachers. Currently we are accepting applications for core teachers; seminar teachers will be recruited in January. Core teaching is a really awesome project: your chance to *design your own* academic course on anything that you find exciting in Biology - or other fields too!
> 
> Example classes include:
> Infectious Disease and Immunology
> Advanced Human Physiology
> Cancer Biology
> Neurobiology
> Biomedical Engineering
> Computational Biology
> Molecular Medicine
> 
> 
> Core teachers are paid a stipend of $1650, and are provided a generous budget to fund exciting labs and other class activities.
> 
> The application is due on January 21. To learn more or to apply, visit http://esp.mit.edu/teach/Junction/index.html. Please e-mail junction at mit.edu if you are interested or if you have any questions.
