Part-Time Associate Editor, PRPER

 

Physical Review Physics Education Research is looking for a new part-time Associate Editor

Physical Review Physics Education Research (PRPER) is looking for a new part-time Associate Editor with international scientific standing to join our editorial team consisting of the Chief Editor, other Associate Editors, Managing Editor, and Editorial Board. The new Associate Editor will become part of the stimulating academic endeavor to bring high-quality papers to our readership.

The journal publishes important developments in the rapidly evolving areas of PER and relies on a mixture of staff and part-time academic editors. The primary responsibility of the Associate Editor is to manage the peer review process of assigned manuscripts by determining whether to send a manuscript out for external review, choosing appropriate reviewers, and making decisions on rejection or acceptance. In addition, the Associate Editor is expected to work collaboratively with the Editorial team, strengthen and expand existing ties between the journal and the research community, and to raise the journal’s overall visibility. Applications from qualified candidates working in all areas of PER will be considered.

We receive submissions continuously throughout the year, and editors are required to work on their assignments on a regular basis; arrangements can usually be made for extended absences upon timely prior notice. Workload may vary depending on subject area and fluctuations in submissions, but is typically no more than about 20 hours per month. Editors are appointed as consultants, and receive a stipend based on the number of manuscripts they are expected to handle.

Part-time Associate Editors are expected to maintain their current position while serving as editors for PRPER. Candidates should be able to regularly and consistently dedicate time to their assignments and should possess the following qualifications: (1) Current active involvement and stature in the relevant field of research. (2) An outstanding record as a referee and a demonstrated commitment to peer review. (3) The ability to work within the editorial team and the desire to maintain the quality and reputation of the journal.

Interested applicants should write to edsearch@aps.org with a cover letter, a current CV, and a one-page summary outlining the applicant’s philosophy regarding peer review, and their views on the aims and future direction of PRPER as they see it. The deadline to apply is February 15, 2025.

The American Physical Society is an equal opportunity employer and encourages applications from or nominations of women and members of underrepresented groups. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnic or national origin, ancestry, pregnancy (including childbirth or related condition), citizenship, familial status, mental or physical disability, veteran status, genetic information, other non-disqualifying disability, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Part-Time Physics Instructors, Rutgers - Newark

 The Department of Physics, School of Arts and Sciences-Newark, Rutgers University-Newark (RU-N), is seeking part-time instructors for the Fall 2021 semester. We are recruiting part-time instructors trained or interested in being trained in the Investigative Science Learning Environment (ISLE) approach to join our introductory physics teaching team. In Fall 2019 we worked with Dr. Eugenia Etkina to transform all our introductory physics classes (lecture, lab and recitation) to follow the ISLE philosophy. Students observe a phenomenon, propose explanations for the phenomenon, test explanations in testing experiments, and apply constructed knowledge. We help our students build knowledge in processes similar to how physicists build knowledge. 

Our part-time instructors are an essential part of our teaching team. They teach labs and problem-solving sessions in the course. We offer summer training, a pre-semester workshop, and run weekly training meetings where all instructors become familiar with the curriculum. The introductory courses are led by three faculty engaged in Physics Education Research (PER). We value part-time instructors as key to our students’ success and we support your professional development. Past part-time instructors have been graduate students in physics education who have conducted dissertation research, joined university faculty, or returned to the K12 classroom. We support your growth as we seek to improve physics education at RU-N and beyond. The position has flexible hours. If you are a high school physics teacher, you can be a part-time instructor in the RU-N Physics Departments.

We are currently appointing faculty to teach undergraduate courses in the natural sciences beginning in the 2017-2018 academic year. We welcome applications from people at all career stages (e.g., Assistant, Associate and full Professor levels). Our courses are broad, and we are especially interested in applicants with a background in physics.

The Minerva Schools at KGI (the Keck Graduate Institute) prepare students to become innovators and global leaders in a wide variety of disciplines. Our aim is to reinvent higher education at every level, from how we define the curriculum to how we teach. All Minerva classes are seminars, not lecture courses, and use active learning to help students learn to think critically and creatively as well as to communicate and interact effectively with others. We teach using the Minerva Active Learning Forum, a web-based platform that supports real-time, synchronous seminars (ranging from 15-19 students) with high levels of student-faculty interaction. The majority of our students are undergraduates pursuing four-year degrees.

You are a good fit for a Minerva faculty position if you are  eager to join one of the most innovative institutions in higher education today. As a student-centric program, we focus on learning outcomes, small interactive class sessions, and deep engagement between faculty and students, with feedback given in both directions. Because all classes are taught on our technology platform, you have complete flexibility to teach at Minerva via computer from any geographic location where there are good internet connections.

Please see our website for more information about Minerva’s course offerings in Natural Sciences.
