SUNY-Buffalo State College will appoint a tenure-track assistant or
associate professor specializing in physics education research and/or
teacher preparation to start in August, 2007. Buffalo State is the
pre-eminent teacher preparation institute in Western New York State,
with rigorously accredited teacher preparation programs. The
successful candidate will join a successful interdisciplinary group
combining physics, teacher education and science education housed
within a physics department, and is expected to develop and enhance
Buffalo State's national role in the scholarship of physics teacher
preparation. Buffalo State currently offers bachelors, masters, non-
degree and alternative certification programs in physics teacher
preparation. These programs include evening, online and summer
academy course offerings for teachers and regular semester
undergraduate course offerings for undergraduate physics majors and
non-majors. Teaching for all of these programs would be expected,
with a strong focus on graduate classes for teachers and teacher
candidates, and undergraduate lower division physics content classes.
The successful candidate is expected to show significant potential
for scholarship, research and instruction of future and current
physics teachers at both the graduate and undergraduate level. The
successful candidate will join a strong interdisciplinary team
already in place, and to contribute to a substantial Buffalo State
College presence in physics teacher education through scholarship,
through participation in relevant professional organizations such as
the AAPT, PTEC, NARST, ASTE, AERA and NSTA, and through significant
grant activity from the NSF, US DEd and NYSED. Exceptional
candidates with an appropriate record of publication may be
considered for hire at the Associate level.
The candidate must show evidence of reviewed scholarship in physics
education research or teacher preparation. An appropriate doctoral
degree in physics, physics education, science education or education
is required, with a masters' degree in physics. We prefer but do not
require the following:
- Experience working with pre-service or in-service teachers
- Experience effectively teaching introductory physics courses for
majors and non-majors
- Teacher certification and secondary school teaching experience
- Experience supervising and mentoring teacher candidates and teachers
- Experience conducting research and scholarship with undergraduate
and Masters’ students
