The central job duty of one of the postdoctoral positions will be to assist in development of a Zooniverse program, with other research opportunities will be available with emphasis on astronomy educational outreach. The central job duty of the second will be to oversee development for and assessment of introductory physics laboratory simulations. In addition, other research opportunities will be available with an emphasis on problem solving.
