Brown University is seeking a motivated, experienced postdoctoral fellow from a STEM discipline (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) to work with the Harriet W. Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning, in collaboration with the Office of the Dean of the College. Brown has been awarded a three-year grant from the Association of American Universities to develop and integrate new approaches in introductory level STEM courses through an institution-wide collaborative model. The successful candidate will work closely with the Executive Director of the Sheridan Center, the Science Center Director, and faculty to integrate inquiry-based practices into introductory STEM courses that foster mathematical competency across STEM disciplines. The postdoctoral fellow will also be responsible for training graduate and undergraduate teaching assistants (TAs) in collaborative peer learning facilitation skills. He/she will develop an effective mentorship program for a cohort of graduate students that will be working with faculty to implement curricular innovations. Ideally, the candidate should have interests and experience in course and curriculum development, evidence-based teaching and learning practices, and STEM education in the university context. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. To apply for this position, please forward (electronically) a cover letter and CV and the names and contact information of three references. Applications will be reviewed as they are received until the position is filled.
