Dear GOB Colleagues:
Together with my colleagues Laura Frost, (Florida Gulf Coast University), Kalyn Owen (N. Seattle College), Ann Murkowski (N. Seattle College), and Lafayette Eaton (St John Fisher College) we are teaming up this summer to organize a GOB symposium for the 2020 BCCE.
Dear all,
We would like to invite you to participate in an NSF (#1915424/#1914996/#1915343) funded CHemistry Instrument Review and Assessment Library (CHIRAL) project that will develop an assessment library that contains inventories commonly used in chemistry education research and the evidence that supports the validity and reliability of these instruments. Your participation will provide valuable insights for developing the desired features of CHIRAL website that will be beneficial to the chemistry education community.
The ACS DivCHED-CER webinar planned for this coming March will feature Stacey Lowery-Bretz (CER) and Mike Klymkowsky (BER) having a conversation about and discussing strengths, limitations, and challenges of using concept inventories in research and practice. We would like their conversation and discussion to be guided by questions of interest to the community of chemistry and biology educators (researchers and practitioners). What questions do you have that you would like them to address?
Good day fellow chemistry educators!
Dr. Ramón S. Barthelemy at the University of Utah seeks to hire a post-doctoral research associate specialized in diversity and inclusion research at the graduate level. The successful candidate will work as part of a team leading research on graduate education in physics and astronomy. This will include conducting a climate survey, interviews, policy analysis, and further ethnographic work at the University of Utah. This position is a one-year contract with an additional one-year renewal depending on performance. Further renewals will be dependent on performance and funding.
A research associate position is available in the Frey STEM Education Research group at the University of Utah in the Department of Chemistry. This position is a full-time, 12-month position, with the potential to extend 4 years, assuming excellent annual performance-based reviews. The research associate will work on several projects in the area of inclusive teaching-and-learning materials development and evaluation of student learning in STEM.
The Talanquer Laboratory at the University of Arizona is seeking a motivated Assistant Research Scientist to work with a National Science Foundation sponsored project designed to build and study a faculty professional development model for improving instructional teams’ abilities to practice evidence-based instruction in large enrollment STEM collaborative learning environments. Main duties and responsibilities include:
Dear CER Colleagues,
Please share the announcement below with your colleagues who teach with Learning Assistants (LAs), who might be interested in incorporating LAs into their classrooms, or who want to learn more about the Learning Assistant Model.
Good day, all. I’m forwarding this job listing on behalf of Dr. Michelle Brooks, Senior Manager in the ACS Office of Professional Training (M_Brooks@acs.org).
Cheers,
Are you (or do you know) an undergrad interested in Chemistry Education Research? Apply to Tufts Chemistry for grad school!
