Dear Colleague,
I’m writing to advertise a postdoc position in my chemistry education
research lab at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). This position is
to support a cross-sectional study on student reasoning development in the
four-year chemistry undergraduate curriculum.
The applicant should have completed (or anticipate completion of) a
doctoral degree in chemistry education, or chemistry with some demonstrated
experience in DBER. Given the collaborative, and sometimes
interdisciplinary, nature of science education research, we are also
looking for candidates with interest or experience in collaborative
projects with other chemistry/science/STEM educators and students.
Knowledge of statistical concepts and methods and their application to
research analysis; of measurement, testing, and evaluation; and of research
methods, principles, techniques, and philosophies. Skilled in conducting
qualitative and quantitative research and in using computers, software, and
statistical tools and programs. Ability to plan, organize, and oversee
research projects, evaluate research data, ensure the development of
measuring instruments with respect to reliability, relevance, and validity,
interpret and publish research findings, and communicate effectively.
Experience in chemistry education research with a focus on assessment of
student learning is desired.
A complete application package will consist of a cover letter, curriculum
vitae, and names and email addresses of three references. The application
package should be submitted to *posting #7150* through the UTEP job portal
(link below). The *review of application materials will begin on December
15, 2021* and continue until the position is filled.
