Responsibilities include working in coordination with physics faculty to: develop an integrated plan of course evaluation and innovation; identify specific learning goals that represent faculty-consensus; develop valid assessments of student learning for undergraduate courses; participate in and supervise the development of techniques, materials and practices for improving student learning in the undergraduate courses; and publish assessment tools and findings in Physics education journals. The Fellow will collaborate with faculty, post-docs, and graduate students in Colorado's Physics Education Research Group (http://per.colorado.edu) The appointment is for one year, with the hope of a second year renewal (pending additional funding.)
