The College of Menominee Nation has a great new project funded by USDA and they are looking for a new employee to work as a liaison across CMN, UW Madison, and the Menominee Community to help train classroom teachers and strengthen their classroom curriculum to help develop more culturally-based STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) educational materials for grades 6-12. The official UW media release is here: http://ecals.cals.wisc.edu/highlights/2011/02/07/new-partnership-aims-to-prepare-rural-youth-for-bioenergy-related-careers/. CMN has asked me to send this out to contacts I have so please email me if you have any questions. I am the evaluator of the grant and I also contributed to writing the grant.
UW Madison is the administrator of this $4.7 million dollar USDA grant and CMN is the primary partner. All work would be carried out in Shawano andMenominee County. The primary school targets are Menominee Indian School District and Menominee Tribal School. At some point other local schools may be asked to join especially if UW/CMN want higher participation levels. Please note that CMN would be your employer and you'd have an office at CMN for this 5 year grant. The job description from CMN is here if you are interested in applying (I would apply this week if interested):

In closing, if you are not interested, please share it with someone who is. In these economic times this e-mail might come to someone as an especially welcomed opportunity to start a new phase in their career. Thanks and have a good night!
