Applications are invited for a Research Associate (post-doctoral) researcher
in Physics Education in the Department of Physics at the University of
Colorado, Boulder. The successful candidate for the current position will
work largely with upper-division courses, building on our current efforts in
upper-division EandM I and II.
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.)
