The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) seeks to hire up to two master science teachers to support a major commitment to enhancing science teacher education and science education outreach. The master science teachers will contribute to an interdisciplinary Program of Excellence (PoE) to recruit, educate, and retain outstanding secondary science teachers. This partnership involves the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Education and Human Sciences, and Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. For more information on the participating departments in the Program of Excellence see http://nuteach.unl.edu. Each master teacher position will be a half-time appointment in one of the participating departments; the nature of the appointment will depend upon the successful applicant’s credentials and experience. There may be the possibility for an additional half-time appointment subject to the instructional needs and resources of the department.

This initiative is a partnership among the Colleges of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, Arts and Sciences, and Education and Human Sciences. Rank and tenure home will depend upon the credentials and experience of the successful applicants. Anticipated start date is August 2009.
