Hi REU Community,

In conjunction with our Undergraduate Research Opportunities Center at CSU Monterey Bay, I am hiring a program coordinator for the new REU program on my campus. If you could forward this ad to individuals who might be interested in this position I would greatly appreciate it. A brief position description along with a link to the ad is below. Thanks for your assistance.

Corey

The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Center (UROC) and Monterey Bay Regional Ocean Science REU at California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB) are recruiting for a Curriculum Coordinator, and we need your help in getting the word out.

The Curriculum Coordinator is responsible for designing and delivering curriculum and program services for UROC and CSUMB's newly-funded National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program. Curriculum content areas range from research methods and ethical research to graduate school applications and professional networking. Delivery methods include in-class, via webinar, and through online modules. Our ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. degree in education or related field, a strong background in STEM or undergraduate research, and robust curriculum development and teaching skills. Priority Screening begins on May 5, 2014. Details online at: https://mocha.csumb.edu/uhr/jobs/job_announce.jsp?job_number=MB2014-EC1909&req_id=001752

Background on UROC: Launched in 2009, UROC is the first centralized undergraduate research office in the 23-campus California State University System. UROC’s mission is to build students’ educational ownership, intellectual vibrancy, and scholarly identity. We achieve this through mentored undergraduate research; rigorous, authentic, and calibrated scholarly activities; and the development of intellectual, personal, and social capital. This model translates to student success -- fifty of our students have gone on to graduate programs, with 13 receiving the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. UROC’s success hinges on engaged students, committed faculty and campus leadership, and, of course, a dedicated and inspiring staff.

Background on the Monterey Bay Regional REU: The REU program capitalizes on the world-class ocean science in our region -- students will work on a range of research topics at one of six research sites: California State University, Monterey Bay, Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve, Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, Moss Landing Marine Labs, and the Naval Postgraduate School. Participating students will receive a stipend, travel support, room and board. Students will also receive post REU support to attend conferences and support in applying to  graduate programs.
