Dear Geoscience Education Research Community, I am currently accepting applications for future doctoral students who are a seeking a PhD in educational and developmental research. Doctoral students would become part of the the Science Learning Research Group (SLRG), which investigates reasoning and critical-analytical thinking about knowledge claims. Much of this research is situated within the context of formal classroom settings and focuses on effective teaching tools and strategies to support deep learning, particularly about scientific topics that pose local, regional, and global challenges (e.g., causes of current climate change, availability of freshwater resources). Please see attached for more information. If you are interested in a Fall 2021 start date, please contact me at lombard1@umd.edu...preferably by November 2, 2020...the sooner the better!
