Distinguished Professor for Science Education

The College of Arts & Sciences at the University of North Carolina at
Greensboro invites applications and nominations for a senior science
educator who will establish her or his vigorous science education
program at UNCG and work with faculty in the College and in the
School of Education on campus initiatives to improve K-16 education
in the sciences. The successful candidate will become the first
Helena Gabriel Houston Distinguished Professor for Science Education,
with a tenured position as a full professor in an appropriate
department in the College, e.g., Biology, Chemistry & Biochemistry,
Geography, Physics & Astronomy, and with the possibility of a joint
appointment in the School of Education. For this position, we seek a
senior scientist or science educator with a strong record of
accomplishments in science education, national recognition in the
field, and clear evidence of the ability to attract significant
external funding.

With this appointment, the University seeks to build on a long
tradition at UNCG of excellence in teacher education, drawing on
interest and enthusiasm among both scientists and science educators
on campus to address the critical societal issue of science
education. It is anticipated that the Houston Professor will also
play a leadership role in the University's proposed Institute for the
Advancement of Learning in Mathematics and Science currently under
discussion.

UNCG is a rapidly growing urban university and currently enrolls
approximately 17,300 students (including 3,000 graduate students) in
the College and six professional schools and is classified by the
Carnegie Foundation as a research university with high research
activity. In the sciences, the College offers the PhD in Psychology
and Geography and is planning doctorates in Biology, Chemistry &
Biochemistry, and Mathematics & Statistics. The School of Education
offers the PhD in Curriculum & Instruction and in several other
disciplines. Teacher education at UNCG is coordinated by the
Teachers' Academy, which includes representation from the School of
Education and academic departments involved in teacher education.

UNCG is especially proud of the diversity of its student body (20%
African-American, 6.5% other ethnic minorities, 68% female) and we
seek to attract an equally diverse applicant pool for this position,
including women and members of minority groups. We are an EEO/AA
employer with a strong commitment to increasing faculty diversity and
will respond creatively to the needs of dual-career couples. Review
of applications will begin on December 1, 2007, and will continue
until the position is filled. Applicants should submit a cover
letter, detailed curriculum vitae, and contact information for four
professional references. In the cover letter, or as a separate
attachment, the candidate should articulate her or his vision for the
role of science education at a research campus. Electronic
applications and inquiries are preferred and should be sent to
Professor Jerry L. Walsh, Chair of the Search Committee at
[log in to unmask] edu. Applications sent by mail should be addressed to
the Science Education Search Committee, College of Arts & Sciences,
University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Greensboro, NC 27402.
Applications will be kept confidential on request.
