Postdoc at CU-Boulder

[Ed Note: there are FOUR postdocs at CU-Boulder right now. This one is Steve Pollock's, originally posted in February and updated with new information.]

Applications are invited for a Research Associate (post-doctoral) researcher in Physics Education in the Department of Physics at the University of Colorado, Boulder. The successful candidate for the current position will work largely with upper-division courses, building on our current efforts in upper-division EandM I and II.

Responsibilities include working in coordination with physics faculty to: develop an integrated plan of course evaluation and innovation; identify specific learning goals that represent faculty-consensus; develop valid assessments of student learning for undergraduate courses; participate in and supervise the development of techniques, materials and practices for improving student learning in the undergraduate courses; and publish assessment tools and findings in Physics education journals.

The Fellow will collaborate with faculty, post-docs, and graduate students in Colorado's Physics Education Research Group (http://per.colorado.edu) The appointment is for one year, with the strong likelihood of a second year renewal (pending additional funding.) Applications materials must be submitted online to the CU automated jobs system, at http://www.jobsatcu.com/postings/36378 This job was initially posted in Feb 2013 - if you applied then, your application is still in our system.
