Post-doctoral associate
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral Science Teaching Fellow
(STF) in Science Education in the Department of Geological Sciences at
the University of Colorado, Boulder. The position is an integral part
of the Science Education Initiative at CU-Boulder; a program focused on
the enhancement of teaching and learning in our undergraduate courses.
Candidates must hold a doctoral degree in Geological Sciences, possess a
strong commitment to science education, and have excellent
organizational and interpersonal communication skills. Familiarity with

The Science Teaching Fellow will serve as the departmental liaison with
the Center for Science Education, directed by Professor Carl Wieman of
the Department of Physics. Responsibilities include working in
coordination with our Geological Science faculty to: Develop an
integrated plan of course evaluation and innovation; identify specific
learning goals that represent faculty-consensus; develop valid
assessments of student learning for undergraduate courses; participate
in and supervise the development of new pedagogical techniques,
materials and practices for improving student learning in the
undergraduate courses; and publish assessment tools and findings in
Earth Science education journals. The STF will collaborate with and
learn from a cohort of Fellows working towards similar goals in
Geological Sciences and other Center-funded departments.
The salary for this one-year, renewable appointment will be competitive
and commensurate with experience. Applicants should submit a vita and a
statement of teaching philosophy and experiences, and have three letters
of recommendation sent to:
