Texas A&M University – Multidisciplinary Engineering

Deadline: December 31, 2023

kshryock@tamu.edu

Texas A&M University’s Multidisciplinary Engineering department is seeking two postdoctoral scholars in the area of engineering education. The postdoctoral scholars will participate in data collection and analysis, conduct research and assessments with faculty and students, prepare manuscripts, present at conferences, and participate in grant writing. The position will also provide the opportunity for scholars to develop personalized professional development plans to support their own career advancement. Candidates nearing graduation are encouraged to apply. The successful candidates for this position are expected to have strong quantitative and qualitative research knowledge and skills and excellent communication capabilities, especially writing skills. Specific details about each of the two positions are provided:

– One of the positions will enable the scholar to research, develop, and implement innovative strategies at the college level that promote effective learning in engineering education and contribute to the methodology of forming the engineer of 2050. How do we prepare students for jobs that do not yet exist, technologies not yet invented, and problems we are unaware of? How do current technologies impact the learning process? Increasing the success of students involves a complex network of strategies and tools that this scholar will incorporate. The scholar will work alongside Dr. Kristi Shryock, Frank and Jean Raymond Foundation Inc. Endowed Associate Professor, and will be co-mentored by Dr. George Ligler, Professor and Dean’s Excellence Chair in Multidisciplinary Engineering and member of the National Academy of Engineering.

– The second position will focus on research on practice and effectiveness of multi- and inter-disciplinary engineering education, programming and outcomes of high-impact practices, and how broad definitions of diversity can maximize positive results in engineering education. Key research questions will investigate characteristics of existing students attracted to innovative academic programs, how these programs can increase added value for students, how recruiting can be improved, and how successes can be transferred across programs and institutions. They will work alongside Dr. Kelly Brumbelow, Associate Professor and Associate Head of the Department of Multidisciplinary Engineering, and will be co-mentored by Dr. George Ligler.

Required Qualifications: Hold a PhD in an engineering discipline and have a demonstrated interest in pursuing a career that includes a focus on research in engineering education at the college level. Candidates must have strong oral and written communication skills and are expected to work well in a team setting.

Anticipated Start Date: As soon as can be arranged with a two-year appointment envisaged, contingent upon successful evaluation after year one.

Salary Range: $54,000 to $61,000 per year, commensurate with education, experience, and qualifications.

Hours: 40 hours per week

Please submit the following documents together in a single PDF to Dr. Shryock at kshryock@tamu.edu: curriculum vitae; cover letter, indicating which of the two positions you would prefer; full contact information of three references.

https://www.ugajobsearch.com/postings/346043

The Engineering Education Transformations Institute at the University of Georgia is currently seeking applications for Open Rank Faculty positions for Fall 2024. Applications received by November 15th will receive full consideration, and we hope you will apply. Questions related to the position may be directed to EETI Director Julie P. Martin (Julie.Martin@uga.edu).

Some reasons you should apply (direct from Dr. Julie Martin’s LinkedIn Post):
· UGA’s Dual Career Assistance Program (DCAP) office provides dedicated assistance for spouses and partners of recently hired University of Georgia faculty and staff. Types of assistance include services for spouses or partners seeking staff, administrative, or professional opportunities within Athens and the surrounding areas.
· We have a university-wide Active Learning Initiative and the director Leah Carmichael is a good friend of EETI and is doing great things across campus.
· The VP for Student Affairs understands the research on student engagement has an initiative whereby faculty can seek funds to host out-of-class social gatherings for their students (up to $700 per gathering!).
· There is an active DBER community across campus and we regularly network with each other. In fact, the SEER Center (Scientists Engaged in Educational Research) is hosting a speed networking event this week. The biological sciences education group and physics education group are particularly strong and along with faculty in the Mary Frances Early College of Education, they are eager to collaborate with us. About 20 faculty, grad students, and postdocs from biology ed showed up to meet me during my interview!
·The people in the College of Engineering are fantastic, and the chairs of the 4 Schools are very supportive of engineering education. They respect us for our expertise and look to us to collaborate. Dean Don Leo has made significant investments in EETI through our operating budget, faculty and staff lines, my leadership startup package, plus our amazing and light-filled collaborative space in the newly remodeled Driftmier Engineering Center.
· While EETI faculty hold their tenure and teach in one of the Schools, we are co-located on the 2nd floor of Driftmier where we also have lab space, meeting rooms and a common graduate student office. EETI also has prime space right as you walk in the door of the building on the first floor, which was done on purpose to give us visibility to visitors.
·The dean is extremely committed to DEI.
·Dr. Martin has experienced great staff support for grants, HR, etc., and is hiring an administrative assistant for EETI to start in January.
