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).
