> Florida International University’s Department of Teaching & Learning in the College of Arts, Sciences and Education invites applications for the position of Assistant/Associate Professor of Science Education.  FIU has a close relationship with Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), the fourth largest school district in the nation, providing the largest number of new teachers to the district with 35% of M-DCPS teachers already possessing an FIU degree.  Thus, candidates must demonstrate strong ability in developing future science teachers as well as working with in-service science teachers.  Furthermore, advancing STEM education is a core value across FIU, with science education research and evidence-based practice at the forefront of that commitment.  As such, candidates must show a strong research background and will be expected to establish/maintain a strong research program (external funding, peer-reviewed scholarly work, national/international collaborations, mentoring of undergraduate/graduate researchers).  The successful candidate will also be required to provide service to their department, college, and/or university.
