In PER, but GER is not that different....

*Two PER postdoc positions at UMaine: Reasoning and Math Methods*
*Revised timelines for applications, interviews, and starting dates*
The Physics Education Research Laboratory at the University of Maine is
still searching for applicants for two separate postdoctoral research
associate positions in physics education research — *now with a revised
(and flexible) tentative starting date of May 1, 2021 *(due to
pandemic-related delays). We are excited to have two postdocs join our
active research group in physics education at the same time so they can
benefit not only from interacting with the group overall but also with one
another.
The first postdoc (
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://umaine.hiretouch.com/job-details?jobID=63683&job=postdoctoral-research-associate__;!!HXCxUKc!miCIv_93ZSMy9jInNBk2YKsPijyjlInDO6NLIFCvkDiyrBqopAxuyH7q4QSoxFQ$ )
will work on a multi-institutional collaboration that aims to integrate
findings and models from cognitive science (particularly those related to
dual-process theories of reasoning) into research-based curriculum
development efforts in physics in order to maximize their efficacy. The
postdoc will be mentored by MacKenzie Stetzer (University of Maine), in
collaboration with Andrew Boudreaux (Western Washington University), Paula
Heron (University of Washington), Mila Kryjevskaia (North Dakota State
University), and Beth Lindsey (Penn State Greater Allegheny).
The second postdoc (
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://umaine.hiretouch.com/job-details?jobID=63684&job=postdoctoral-research-associate__;!!HXCxUKc!miCIv_93ZSMy9jInNBk2YKsPijyjlInDO6NLIFCvkDiyrBqopAxuyH7qtlXermw$ )
will work on a multi-institutional collaboration implementing a coordinated
program of research and instructional materials development centered on
students’ use of and reasoning about key mathematical topics in
upper-division physics courses. The postdoc will be mentored by John
Thompson (University of Maine), in collaboration with Michael Loverude
(California State University - Fullerton) and Warren Christensen (North
Dakota State University).
Both postdocs will be based at UMaine but work with collaborators
remotely. Due to the pandemic, a remote start is possible, but the
postdocs would be expected to relocate to UMaine when feasible.
*Review of applications will now begin February 16, 2021. * For more
information about the first postdoc position, contact MacKenzie Stetzer (

postdoc position, contact John Thompson ([log in to unmask]).
