Seeking Input on joint assignment Tenure Track Position

Hi all,

We are looking for input on a joint tenured/tenure track position in chemical education that we will be offering at UALR.  This is a joint assignment between an academic department (chemistry) and a service oriented unit (STEM center). Have any other schools offered similar joint positions in chemical education? If you have any experience with this this type of position I would really appreciate it if you could contact me in private, Bob Belford, rebelford@ualr.edu .

Overview of Chemical Education Research (CER)

As identified by the NRC Report on Discipline-Based Education Research (NRC, 2012), “the goals of DBER are to:

  • understand how people learn the concepts, practices, and ways of thinking of science and engineering;
  • understand the nature and development of expertise in a discipline;
  • help identify and measure appropriate learning objectives and instructional approaches that advance students toward those objectives;
  • contribute to the knowledge base in a way that can guide the translation of DBER findings to classroom practice; and
