Position Description
We are advertising a
postdoctoral-level position associated with the NSF IUSE-HSI grant: Building Capacity: Creating Faculty-Student
Communities for Culturally Relevant Institutional Change (NSF #1928696, PI Heather Galloway, Co-PIs Eleanor Close, Alice
Olmstead, Cynthia Luxford, and Li Feng). The position will primarily focus on research and will involve synergistic programmatic
activities.
During this five-year project, we aim to engage faculty and students across Texas State University’s College
of Science and Engineering in workshops, department instructional assessments, redesign of lower-division gateway courses, and project-level
decision making. Participating STEM departments are receiving intellectual, material, and logistical support to empower faculty-student
teams in developing sustainable communities of practice focused on equitable and inclusive instructional approaches. The project also
involves three research strands that focus on communities of practice among faculty and students, STEM student trajectories at Texas State,
and student graduation rates, and STEM workforce outcomes for Texas State and other Hispanic-Serving Institutions. We are currently in year
3 of the project. More information is available at Faculty-Student Communities for Improving STEM
Instruction.
This position will focus on collecting and analyzing various kinds of student data before,
during, and after course redesigns. The selected candidate will be expected to engage in research activities such as: conducting and
synthesizing the results of focus groups with STEM students; gathering and analyzing institutional student data; working with STEM faculty
to collect and analyze qualitative and quantitative student data using research-based assessments; amending materials for institutional
review board approval; and disseminating results through publications and presentations. Exact activities will vary depending on the stage
of the project. The selected candidate will be expected to co-mentor undergraduate research students as appropriate. The selected candidate
will also be expected to help faculty and students interpret data, and to contribute to the implementation of workshops and summer
institutes. Co-PI Luxford will be the primary advisor for this position.
The salary for this position is between $50,000-$55,000 per
year. The review of applications will begin on May 15, 2023. Start dates are flexible, but between Sept 1 and Sept 31 is preferred. Initial
appointments will be for one year, renewable as funding remains available (2 years total). Relocation to San Marcos is
preferred.
