both the undergraduate and graduate levels, (3) supervise graduate and
undergraduate research, (4) develop an externally-funded research program,
(5) participate in leadership for collaborative efforts in STEM-education
with colleagues in the home department, the Maine RiSE Center, the
University, and other professional communities. The positions are academic
year appointments with preferred starting date no later than August 29,
2011.
