Postdoctoral Position in Chemical Education Research (CER)
I am seeking to fill a postdoctoral research position at Florida International University beginning as early as January 2018. FIU is an exciting place to be, with a growing group of talented faculty across multiple STEM disciplines in DBER in vibrant Miami, Florida. The position will be in both the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the STEM Transformation Institute. The STEM Transformation Institute is recognized as one of FIU’s Preeminent Programs, for its “collaborative endeavor that demonstrates extraordinary success in providing unique learning opportunities, pioneering research and engagement while expanding FIU’s financial base.”
The person hired for this position would be working with the project team of a recently funded, collaborative NSF grant to develop and implement tasks to assess the Scientific Practices. The project team spans across three universities (myself at FIU, Melanie Cooper at Michigan State, and Debbie Herrington at Grand Valley State), giving the candidate the opportunity to work with a number of Chemistry Education Researchers. The preferred candidate should have experience in mixed-methods approaches (experience collecting and analyzing both interview and open-ended assessment data along with a quantitative statistical background is preferred) and would be expected to interact with other faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate/undergraduate students within the other science disciplines. In addition, they will have the opportunity to mentor both undergraduate and graduate students.
Candidates for the position should have a Ph.D. in chemistry education or a related field. To apply, please send me (jcarmel@fiu.edu) a cover letter, CV, and the name of three references. I will continue to accept applications until the position is filled.
Have a great day!
Justin
