It promotes a learner-centered, competency-based learning environment in which ongoing assessment guides and monitors student learning and is the basis for data-driven research on learning.
The successful candidate has a M.S. or Ph.D. in physics or related fields with knowledge of basic techniques in a physics laboratory setting. Excellent communication skills (both written and verbal) are required. Experience in laboratory instruction is preferred.
