Position Announcement

Associate Professor STEM Education and Equity

 

The School of Education (SOE) at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) invites applications and nominations for a full-time, tenure-track Associate Professor of STEM Education and Equity. The position will commence as early as July 1, 2024, or as negotiated.

 

Position Description

We are seeking a faculty member with commitments to advancing the field of equity and justice-based STEM Education. This includes research that expands perspectives and ideas, utilizes and builds on critical theoretical and methodological approaches, and demonstrates expertise in critical epistemic foundations that challenge and reimagine dominant, Eurocentric approaches to STEM education. Candidates could take on a variety of specific research directions and inquiries within STEM education across a variety of levels (e.g., systemic, structural, institutional). We are most interested in candidates invested in advancing research on the social constructs that impact STEM access such as identity, socialization, racialization, and more. Additionally, we especially encourage applicants with commitments to reclaiming Indigenous, or other non-dominant epistemologies in STEM, that draw from asset-based and culturally sustaining, justice-oriented theoretical foundations.

 

The salary range for this appointment is $92,500 to $116,600 annually. “Off-scale salaries” and other components of pay, i.e., a salary that is higher than the published system-wide salary at the designated rank and step, are offered when necessary to meet competitive conditions.

 

Interested candidates should submit an electronic application to https://aprecruit.ucr.edu/JFP01880 that includes a cover letter describing current and proposed future areas of research, curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching philosophy, statement of research, recent teaching evaluations, a statement of past and/or planned contributions to advancing diversity and inclusive excellence and information for at least 6 people who can be contacted for letters of recommendation (extramural letters will be solicited by the University for the top candidate). Review of applicants will begin March 14, 2024, and may continue until the position is filled.

All qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
