The Graduate School of Education, University of California, Berkeley, seeks
applicants for an assistant professor (tenure track) or associate professor
level (with tenure) position in learning sciences with an emphasis on
science education, with an expected start date of July 1, 2015. The
successful candidate will join faculty in the program in Education in
Mathematics, Science, and Technology (EMST) who merge cognitive,

and learning in mathematics and science.

Desirable qualities for this position include a research program merging
theory and practice with an emphasis on student thinking and sense making.
Applicants’ research contexts might include classrooms, homes, online
activities, and 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 science education, and
to contribute as appropriate to the GSE’s innovative programs in teacher
education. Faculty in the GSE also have the opportunity to teach in the
School’s popular undergraduate minor.

The minimum basic qualification to be considered an applicant for this
position is a PhD or equivalent, or the completion of all degree
requirements except the dissertation at the time of application. Applicants
must have a doctoral degree or equivalent in science education, cognitive
science, the learning sciences or a related field by the date of hire.
Applicants must also have a record of demonstrated excellence in research
in science education consistent with their career stage. Evidence of
excellence would be in the form of published or in press manuscripts in
leading peer reviewed journals, exemplary chapters in edited books,
outstanding letters from experts in the field, an exemplary research
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. Preferred qualifications
include experience in teaching courses related to science education and in
working with a diverse student population.
