Science Education
Two Positions
Western Michigan University's College of Arts and Sciences seeks
applications for two tenure-track positions in science education at the
assistant/associate level for Fall 2001, pending budgetary approval. WMU is
one of the largest producers of teachers in the USA. Science education is
an important aspect of the training of all elementary teachers and those in
secondary education science majors. Faculty will have a primary appointment
in either Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Geosciences or Physics and a
joint appointment in science education. The College of Arts and Sciences
offers MA and Ph.D. degrees in science education. Candidates should have a
doctoral degree in science education or related discipline and a strong
background in one of the science disciplines listed above. Candidates
should have demonstrated success in publishing scholarly research and
teaching experience at the university or pre-college level. Appointees will
be expected to conduct a research program in science education, supervise
graduate students and develop and teach graduate and undergraduate courses
in science education. Western Michigan University is a student-centered
research university and has an affirmative action program, which encourages
applications from underrepresented groups. Send a cover letter, curriculum
vitae, graduate transcripts, statement of research interests, and three
letters of recommendation to: Dr. Leonard C. Ginsberg, Associate Dean,
Chair of Science Education Search Committee, College of Arts and Sciences,
1903 West Michigan Avenue, Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI
