Position Announcement
Science and/or Mathematics Education, to begin Fall 2005 Michigan State
University

Michigan State University is continuing to build its priority
initiatives in science and mathematics education. The University is
committed to strategically increasing our capacity to continue providing
national leadership in science and mathematics education scholarship in
the coming decades. We will build on our long-standing record of
excellence in science and mathematics education research, development,
and teacher education, and will continue to provide outstanding teaching
of undergraduate and graduate students in teacher education, mathematics
and the sciences. Candidates will have the opportunity to participate in
our many externally funded projects (Carnegie Teachers for a New Era,
NSF Math and Science Partnership PROM/SE, Center for the Study of
Mathematics Curriculum, Center for Curriculum Materials in Science).

We seek faculty candidates with primary research interests in science
and/or mathematics education to fill as many as three tenure-track
positions at MSU. Two positions are available in the Department of
Teacher Education, in the College of Education, at the assistant,
associate or full professor rank. One position is available through the
Division of Science and Mathematics Education in the College of Natural
Science (CNS), at the assistant or associate professor rank in science
education. 

The faculty with interests in science and mathematics education at MSU
spans several academic units and work collaboratively to address
cross-university needs and responsibilities, with coordination provided
through the Division of Science and Mathematics Education. Graduate
students may pursue doctoral work in mathematics education in the
Department of Mathematics, the Department of Teacher Education, and the
Department of Counseling, Educational Psychology, and Special Education
(CEPSE). Students interested in science education pursue degrees through
the Departments of Teacher Education and CEPSE, with collaboration from
CNS faculty and programs. Joint appointments and other
cross-departmental and cross-college arrangements are possible and
encouraged.

All candidates are expected to have an earned doctorate in science or
mathematics education, science, mathematics, or a related field; a
record of exceptional scholarly accomplishment or promise through
published material; and evidence of a capacity to contribute to the
intellectual, research, and instructional life of MSU.  Senior
candidates must demonstrate evidence of success in obtaining and leading
funded research projects, strong collaborative work, and a pattern of
national leadership in science or mathematics education. Candidates with
interest in a primary appointment in Teacher Education are expected to
have background and expertise in teacher education and/or student
learning. We also encourage candidates with research interests in
teacher learning or development, local, state and national policy
issues, and/or technology. Candidates with interest in a primary
appointment in the sciences must have a strong background (M.S. or
extensive coursework) in science, and a strong or emerging record of
research and scholarship in science education; preference will be given
to candidates with experience in biology education, however expertise in
any of the sciences will be considered.  

Duties will vary depending on departmental placement, rank, university
and academic unit education needs, and the candidate's experience and
interest. They will include some or all of the following: carrying out a
program of research in science or mathematics education; teaching
preservice mathematics or science teacher education courses; teaching
graduate courses in mathematics or science education; seeking research
funding; participating in departmental or college committee work;
advising masters and doctoral students; and fostering collaborations
with the Colleges of Education and Natural Science, and the K-12
community. Senior candidates will also be expected to provide leadership
in MSU's mathematics or science education research programs, establish
interdisciplinary collaborations and school-university partnerships, and
provide mentoring for junior faculty.

A complete application package consists of a cover letter, a curriculum
vita, two examples of representative scholarly writing, a personal
teaching philosophy statement, and three letters of reference addressing
teaching and research. The candidate should arrange for the submission
of letters.

Review of applications will begin November 1, 2004 and will continue
until the positions are filled. For more information, please consult one
