This project takes a systematic, and research-based approach to transformation in education, particularly focusing on the deployment of scholarly evaluation tools and processes we use in teaching evaluation. It is part of a broader approach to educational change that is being coordinated through our STEM Institutional Transformation Action Research (SITAR) project in the Center for STEM Learning (CSL). Notably however we are not limiting our change to STEM departments and seek to support change across our campus.

This is an initial 12-month appointment beginning as early as Mar 1, 2017, and is potentially renewable pursuant to university policies and dependent upon funding. The salary is set by funding source at $50,000 per year, and includes benefits as established by the university HR department. The successful candidate will collaborate with a broad group of engaging and nationally renowned faculty, post-docs, and graduate students across multiple STEM, humanities and social sciences departments at CU.

The postdoc on this project will act as both a facilitator and researcher on the project. As a facilitator, the postdoc will actively support departmental change through facilitation of departmental working groups that seek to identify scholarly measures of teaching effectiveness. Additionally, the postdoc will partner with faculty professional development experts in facilitating efforts as well as institutionalizing and scaling the process for improved teaching evaluation.

Our goal is to begin reviewing applications on Feb 3, 2016, and we will continue to review applications until the positions are filled.

The leads on the project team consist of Noah Finkelstein, Joel Corbo, and Mark Gammon (CU Boulder) and Daniel Reinholz (SDSU).
