museums, and/or innovative practices that take advantage of contemporary
technologies. The successful applicant should be prepared to teach and
advise doctoral students specializing in either math, science, or
technology education, and to contribute to the GSE’s innovative program in
teacher education.

Faculty in the GSE also have the opportunity to teach in the School’s
popular undergraduate minor.

An applicant’s minimum basic qualification for consideration of this
position is a Ph.D. or equivalent, or the completion of all degree

program to be accomplished in the next 5 years; and/or conference
presentations or other forms of professional contributions indicative of
strong participation in the research community.
