Position Summary

The Department of Computational Mathematics, Science and Engineering (CMSE) in the College of Natural Science at Michigan State University (MSU) leads an open-rank, inter-college search with the CREATE for STEM Institute, the Program in Mathematics Education (PriME), and the Departments of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Statistics and Probability (STT), and Counseling, Educational Psychology, and Special Education (CEPSE) to identify a tenure system scholar in postsecondary Computing Education, Data Science Education, AI Education, or overlapping and related disciplines. This position is part of our continued commitment to address major and enduring challenges in undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) teaching and learning. This is an academic year position with a preferred (but negotiable) starting date of August 16, 2026, and with a salary commensurate with rank and qualifications. 

The successful applicant will be jointly appointed in the Department of CMSE and one of the participating departments or programs (CSE, STT, PriME, CEPSE). We seek a colleague whose work demonstrates potential to improve undergraduate experiences and life outcomes of people who have been historically and contemporarily disenfranchised in STEM undergraduate education. This new colleague will join a collaborative team committed to addressing contemporary issues and overcoming inequities in these areas from a range of perspectives and methodologies in STEM education. The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to promoting a culture of inclusion and belonging in STEM and computing education, with the ultimate goal of building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive scholarly community focused on computing and data science education. 

Major responsibilities 

The successful candidate will be expected to conduct scholarly research and inquiry in the targeted areas; seek external funding; teach undergraduate- and graduate-level courses; advise doctoral students; and participate in service and outreach activities. Additional duties will vary depending on departmental placement and rank, university and academic unit education needs, and the candidate’s experience and interest. The candidates will also have opportunities to join and expand ongoing collaborative projects in the targeted areas and contributing to continuing efforts to foster inter-departmental collaborations across the College of Natural Science and with units across campus.

THREE 2-Year Postdocs: Queering Science Education Postdoctoral Fellowship and Faculty Training Program, University of Utah

 Queering Science Education Postdoctoral Fellowship and Faculty Training Program

Apply Here: https://www.queeringstem.com/apply

Fellowship Start Date: August 1st 2024

Fellowship End Date: July 31st 2026

Total Compensation: $79,940 ($70,000 salary, $9,940 in retirement), healthcare and vacation annually

Travel Support: Three conferences paid for, two with research mentors and one of the fellow's choice

STEM education research on inclusive environments and interdisciplinary STEM research is growing. As the field continues to reflect dynamic communities and community research priorities, this novel post-doctoral program seeks to bring to the center critical frameworks. Through a thematic of “Queering STEM Education” we propose to bring together a cohort of STEM education and science studies scholars who take seriously critical frameworks of queer, decolonial, transnational, and / or intersectionality. To queer is to offer a critique, to contest the “naturalization of the categories of normal and deviant sexuality and binarized notions of sexed anatomy, gender identity, sexual desire, and sexual identity” (Thinking with Kristina Gupta and David Rubin 2021). To bring to the center analytics that are historically on the margins of STEM research, is, so to speak, a queering endeavor. Therefore, to queer STEM is truly an interdisciplinary and methodological complex undertaking. That is, to queer is to contend with the norms with how one does research, the modalities of research, the subjects in research, and the research questions asked that further how we come to know what counts as STEM. As conveyed by Jin a queer methodology “only works if we know where we stand, where we are trying to go, and whom we are trying to take with us” (Haritworn 2017). As fields of STEM seek to diversify, it is ever more pressing through a cohort model of scholars that we also to take seriously how research is done, and how a next generation of scholars are supported and trained to cross disciplines.

Who Should Apply: This program will support the training of three postdoctoral fellows. Ideal candidates include individuals who graduated in the past 4 years, and whose research includes:

• Discipline-based education researchers (DBER) interested in queering their methodologies or bringing into their research queer analytics.

• Science studies scholars who bring into their research queer methods or frameworks.

• Interdisciplinary scholars who bring to the center of their research STEM related fields.

  
  

Program overview

This two-year program will train fellows in formal queer frameworks in science education, with research rotations with critical studies and science education scholars, that will lead to the completion of a research project during the two-year fellowship.

 

Development and training. Postdoctoral fellows will work with the Co-PIs on their individual academic plan. The program will include a speaker series bringing in experts from across the country, a special journal edition on queering STEM, paid attendance at three conferences, and a final symposium. Fellows will participate in professional development curriculum to learn about applying to faculty jobs, professional networking, grant writing, time management and more. The goal is to prepare future faculty in queer methodologies to be more inclusive and expert scholars. Fellows will be in residence in Utah during the program and work in person. Opportunities to mentor undergraduate researchers and teach, available to postdoctoral fellows who individual academic plan reflects desires to teach and mentor as part of their development.

 

Research. Fellows will have the option to: (1) investigate a small piece of a Utah faculty member’s project while applying a queer lens or (2) bring their own project, with data already collected, to queer. Prospective fellow application materials should specify whether they want to work on a faculty member’s project or bring their own data from their dissertation work or beyond (Information on the potential faculty mentors and projects are below). Postdoctoral fellows will also experience mentoring opportunities from the project’s advisory board.

To be considered submit: a cover letter, curriculum vita, a writing sample, and two letters of recommendation. Applications cover letters should include a description of which mentor(s) and why this mentor, or a description of project/data to be analyzed during the fellowship. Submit materials here.
