Position description
The
School of Education (SOE) at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) invites applications and nominations for a full-time,
tenure-track Associate Professor of STEM Education and Equity. The position will commence as early as July 1, 2024, or as negotiated.
Our Program, School, and University
The UCR SOE is a growing community that serves both undergraduate and graduate students.
Located in a region rich in racial, cultural, and linguistic diversity, SOE serves majority students of color with a high percentage of
working class and first-generation college students and boasts the most diverse faculty of a School of Education in the University of
California system. Divided into area groups devoted to higher education; leadership and policy; social, cultural, linguistic, and racial
analysis; cognition and learning; school psychology; and special education, our collective mission is to call students to teach students and
advance equitable and transformative educational systems and practices that are reflective of and responsive to our local racially and
economically diverse communities.
UCR is a member of the American Association of Universities (AAU). As a Minority Serving
Institution, UCR ranks among the top public universities for Making a Public Impact (No. 20, Princeton Review) and is No. 2 among public
universities in the U.S. for social mobility (No. 1 from 2019-2021). UCR has several designations that underscore its commitment to
diversity, equity, and inclusion. UCR is a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) and an Asian American and Native American Pacific
Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI). As the only public research university in diverse Inland Southern California, UCR’s School of
Education is positioned to shape effective service delivery for historically and multiply marginalized young people locally and across the
state.
Position Description
We are seeking a faculty member with commitments to advancing the field of equity and
justice-based STEM Education. This includes research that expands perspectives and ideas, utilizes and builds on critical theoretical and
methodological approaches, and demonstrates expertise in critical epistemic foundations that challenge and reimagine dominant, Eurocentric
approaches to STEM education. Candidates could take on a variety of specific research directions and inquiries within STEM education across
a variety of levels (e.g., systemic, structural, institutional). We are most interested in candidates invested in advancing research on the
social constructs that impact STEM access such as identity, socialization, racialization, and more. Additionally, we especially encourage
applicants with commitments to reclaiming Indigenous, or other non-dominant epistemologies in STEM, that draw from asset-based and
culturally sustaining, justice-oriented theoretical foundations.
We welcome applications with any area of research in STEM equity and
justice, especially focused on the populations we serve at UCR and in the Inland Empire, and that go beyond naming lack of representation.
Particular research focus that candidates might engage in include, but are certainly not limited to:
Ethno-STEM (e.g.,
ethnomathematics, land education, decolonization)
Critical and race-focused theories in STEM Education (e.g., anti-blackness,
critical race theory, feminist epistemologies)
STEM effective, engaged, and culturally sustaining teaching and learning for
historically marginalized populations (e.g., women, youth of color, linguistically diverse students, neurodiverse students, LGBTQ+ students)
System-wide analyses, practices, and policies that structurally advance race and gender equity and justice in STEM
Examination of the digital divide, the growing popularity of online learning and artificial intelligence, and its impact on equitable
STEM learning
Salary and research support will be commensurate with an appointment within the University of California system.
Advancement through the faculty ranks at the University of California is through a series of structured, merit-based evaluations, occurring
every 2-3 years, each of which includes substantial peer input.
Inquiries about the position should be directed to the search
committee chair, Marsha Ing ([email protected]).
Interested candidates should
submit an electronic application to https://aprecruit.ucr.edu/apply that
includes a cover letter describing current and proposed future areas of research, curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching philosophy,
statement of research, recent teaching evaluations, a statement of past and/or planned contributions to advancing diversity and inclusive
excellence and information for at least 6 people who can be contacted for letters of recommendation (extramural letters will be solicited by
the University for the top candidate). Review of applicants will begin March 14, 2024, and may continue until the position is filled.
