Course description (summary)
To work with Professor Postlethwaite and other colleagues in the field of science teacher education, to explore the varied issues arising from a Leverhulme funded study which is investigating the learning of newly qualified science and mathematics teachers (NQTs) during their induction year.
In 2009 Professor Postlethwaite will be completing a project funded by the Leverhulme Trust. This is investigating the learning of newly qualified science and mathematics teachers (NQTs) during their induction year. Initial results are suggesting that this phase of teachers’ learning is problematic. A particular concern is that NQT mentoring provides little opportunity to address these issues. There is a strong indication that an effective partnership between higher education and schools should support induction as it does the initial education of teachers.
You will work with Professor Postlethwaite and other colleagues in the field of science teacher education, to explore the varied issues arising from the Leverhulme funded study. You will be part of the School’s research group that is concerned with teacher education and have access to the data from the Leverhulme project so that your work can start from a well informed position. It is also expected that you will take the analysis of these data further than will be possible within the constraints of the project, gaining maximum benefit from the work already completed.
You would therefore be expected to:
undertake a three-year empirical study into ‘The further development of induction for newly qualified science and mathematics teachers’
prepare papers for research conferences (years two and three)
You will have an opportunity to undertake the School’s ESRC-recognised MSc in Research Methods in Education and, following an Initial Needs Analysis, will be encouraged to secure further training and support through the Effective Researcher Development Programme, run at the University. The studentship is full-time and you may be able to contribute to teaching on the School’s Secondary Science PGCE programme.

Postdoc at University of Arizona
Applications are invited for a two-year Postdoctoral Fellowship position in space-science education with the Center for Astronomy Education (CAE) at the University of Arizona Department of Astronomy, Steward Observatory. The position will begin August 2009. The successful candidate will divide their time between working on the Education and Public Outreach efforts of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) program and the NSF Collaboration of Astronomy Teaching Scholars (CATS) program.
The candidate will be involved in developing a strong program of education research into how non-science learners (both college non-science majors and members of the general public) taking courses in introductory astronomy and participating in online citizen science projects (such as www.galaxyzoo.org) change in their beliefs about science, and their science literacy.
Outstanding UA benefits include health, dental, and life insurance; sick leave and holidays; UA/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for employee and qualified family members; access to campus cultural and recreational activities; and more!
Requirements
Applicants must have a Ph.D. and experience with curriculum development, research and evaluation on the teaching and learning of science. Experience working in informal and formal education settings with non-science majors and the public is strongly desired. College teaching experience in astronomy/physics is preferred but not required. Candidates should have a strong background in quantitative and qualitative educational research methods, and data analysis, including experience with SPSS. Candidates should be familiar with data-driven decision making including basic knowledge of SQL.
