Matters courses foster intellectual curiosity and the development of
critical inquiry skills and support first-year students in achieving a
successful transition to college-level learning. We invite applications
from candidates with a background in Philosophy (philosophy of science,
political philosophy, and ethics); Literature (Medieval, European,
American, and Global); Religious Studies (stories and narrative);
Anthropology (Medical and Cultural); Physics; and other quantitative
fields (e.g. engineering, mathematics, statistics).
Fellows will be placed on teaching teams in
three different courses, one each in autumn, winter and spring quarters.
Fellows lead seminar discussions for two sections (averaging 15
students each) that meet twice weekly; they individualize student
learning through regular tutorial sessions; and they coordinate
instruction with plenum lectures given by Stanford faculty. The
appointment begins August 1, 2014 for a one-year term that is renewable
for two additional years depending on programmatic need and job
performance. Annual starting salary will be at least $56,900 with a
supplemental stipend of $2,000 for research and scholarship. Eligible
candidates will have earned a doctorate in a relevant field, conferred
no earlier than 2008 and no later than June 2014.
Applicants must provide evidence of teaching excellence and proof of intellectual flexibility as well as a strong record of scholarship. Other desired qualifications are: experience teaching first-year university students; familiarity with team teaching, and demonstrated experience with developing students’ skills in critical thinking, writing, discussion, and analysis.
In the application process all candidates will be asked to identify which courses best fit their teaching experience and training. For information on Thinking Matters courses offered in 2014-15 and instructions on completing an application through Interfolio, go to:
https://undergrad.stanford.edu/programs/thinking-matters/teach/open-fell...
Applications will open December 2, 2013 and close February 28, 2014 and must be submitted through Interfolio.

STEM education postdoc at CU Boulder
STEM Education and Assessment Fellows
University of Colorado Boulder
https://www.jobsatcu.com/
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral associate in the newly formed Center for STEM Learning at the University of Colorado, Boulder. The successful candidates will work on educational transformation through a project focused on institution wide transformation, sponsored by the American Association of Universities. The overall project seeks to promote the use of research based instructional and assessment strategies. Responsibilities will primarily center on supporting faculty in the change process by identifying appropriate material resources to support assessment of teaching in multiple STEM disciplines, working closely with department leads to provide professional consultations with participating faculty on the use of identified materials, supporting the implementation of assessment measures by managing data collection and analysis, and consulting with faculty to reflect on the results. Associates will also work with project staff to develop an online campus-wide, potentially national, portal to assist faculty in finding libraries of educational measures, easing use of such measures and sharing results. Opportunities will also exist for working toward promoting the use of evidence-based measures of teaching impact and conducting research on the process of institutional transformation. The Fellows will collaborate with a broad group of engaging and nationally renowned faculty, post-docs, and graduate students across multiple STEM departments at the University of Colorado. The overall project also includes studies of institutional transformation, and provides opportunities for postdocs to participate in studies of individual and institutional uptake of new assessment tools and practices.
Qualifications: The successful candidates will have a strong disciplinary background in a STEM area and extensive experience in education research. Experience in biology or mechanical engineering is a plus as these are the initial departments on the project. The appointment is a one-year, renewable appointment with the preference that the successful candidate will be able to commit to the project for 2 years. The salary will be competitive and commensurate with experience.
Applications will consist of a cover letter, a vita, a statement of teaching philosophy and experiences, and three letters of recommendation. They can be submitted at https://www.jobsatcu.com/
