RUTGERS, THE STATE UNIVERSITY  OF NEW
JERSEY,  GRADUATE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
Faculty Recruitment for 2007-2008
The Rutgers University Graduate School of Education is dedicated
to the study and improvement of educational institutions,
processes, and agents to empower people to act as reflective,
compassionate, and effective participants in a diverse and
interconnected world. As a professional school within New
Jersey's flagship public university, the production and
dissemination of knowledge about education is central to our
mission. We seek tenure-track or tenured faculty colleagues
whose research focuses on informing and improving education,
especially student learning, understanding, and achievement
broadly defined.
Applicants are expected to have earned a doctoral degree from a
major research university. In screening applicants, we will be
looking for evidence of research and scholarly promise or
accomplishment; commitment to a strong, productive, and
externally funded research program; appropriate experience and
commitment to excellence in teaching. We invite applications
from beginning to mid-career scholars. Salary and rank will be
commensurate with qualifications and experience. Our School and
University are especially interested in applications from
individuals who are members of groups that have been and still
are underrepresented in university faculty positions. 
For each position, responsibilities include: teaching and
academic advising of both undergraduate and graduate students; an
active program of research; contributing to the effective
operation of the profession, the School, and the University.
Pursuit of external funding for one's research program is also
expected.
Apply electronically at the email address associated with the
position you seek. Your application should include: 1) a cover
letter of introduction including names and contact information
for references; references will only be contacted after initial
screening and with your permission; 2) a CV or resume; 3) a
statement of research program or plan; 4) a statement of
teaching experiences and philosophy; 5) two samples of scholarly
writing such as publications or conference presentations. Submit
these items as separate attachments in either MS Office
2003/2004 format or preferably as PDF documents.  
Screening of applications will begin immediately. We will accept
applications until November 1, 2007. If interested, we encourage
you to apply sooner than this deadline as we anticipate moving
beyond initial screening as soon as possible. 
Subject to the availability of funding, positions begin
September 2008 in the following areas:
Assistant Professor of Science Education: Joint Position in the
School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (75%) and the
Graduate School of Education (25%) 
The Department of Environmental Sciences or the Department of
Marine and Coastal Sciences at the School of Environmental and
Biological Sciences and the Department of Learning and Teaching
at the Graduate School of Education seek a highly competent
candidate with a strong science background and an active
research program on the learning and teaching of
Environmental/Earth systems science and  whose background
qualifies them to teach both environmental/Earth systems science
and science education courses.  The successful candidate
will have research interests that apply cognitive and learning
sciences approaches to the design of learning environments,
instruction, and/or the learning and teaching in
Environmental/Earth science.  The specific research focus
can be in any domain of environmental/Earth science but it
should have relevance within the K-16 framework and seek to
improve understandings and practices for  K-12 teachers and
students. Preferred candidates will have knowledge of GIS
(Geographical Information Systems) tools and
programs.   In addition to Environmental/Earth systems
content courses in the specialty field, teaching
responsibilities will include middle/secondary school Earth
Science methods courses and graduate science education
courses.  Active engagement with relevant national
education research communities (e.g., AERA, AAAS, NARST, ICLS,
NAGT) and with  national and state  K-12 school
communities  is expected.  With the recent
transformation of the School of Environmental and Biological
Sciences, Rutgers has recommitted to addressing the problems and
challenges of the environment and has made them a central part
of the mission of the school.  The Department of
Environmental Sciences has programs that focus on climate and
atmospheric processes; environmental chemistry, microbiology and
engineering; geochemistry and geomicrobiology; air pollution and
health; fate and transport of contaminants in air, soil, aquatic
and subsurface environments. The Department of Marine and
Coastal Sciences has integrated programs covering physical,
biological, chemical, and geological oceanography which are
broadly defined to include both basic and applied research in
the coastal and open ocean systems and applied research in
coastal processes.  The Graduate School of Education
emphasizes learning sciences approaches to subject matter domain
educational research.  There are two doctoral level programs
for science education graduate student candidates - in science
education (Ed.D) and in educational psychology (Ph.D.).  In
addition, there are two master's programs, one of which is a
five-year program leading to teacher certification.
