To the PhET community,
The PhET Project at CU-Boulder (http://phet.colorado.edu) is seeking applicants for a position focusing on simulation design and use at the K12 level.
I have included the job advertisement below, which provides details about the job responsibilities and applicant requirements. Please consider applying if you are interested. I would also appreciate it if you would share this announcement with your colleagues who might be interested.
The online posting can be found here:

Thanks very much!
Best,
Kathy Perkins
Director, PhET Interactive Simulations
K12 Simulation Designer / Specialist Position with the PhET Interactive Simulations project at University of Colorado Boulder
The PhET Interactive Simulations Project (http://phet.colorado.edu/) at the University of Colorado Boulder has an opening for a full- or part-time Professional Research Assistant position with a focus on simulation design and testing as well as teacher professional development around simulation use.
The PhET Team designs and develops interactive simulations (sims) for teaching and learning science and math, creates activities that couple with the sims, and makes all of these resources freely available to educators and students on the web. Research at both K12 and college levels is a major component of the PhET Project, and focuses on understanding aspects of design and use that lead to increases in student learning and student engagement.
PhET is currently engaged in several initiatives: building and studying simulations for middle school math and science, advancing our teacher professional development resources and support system, branching into tablet and touch-compatible simulation design, increasing the accessibility capabilities of our simulations, and advancing the use of simulations in undergraduate chemistry.
The successful applicant will join the vibrant and productive PhET team. The responsibilities will grow as the applicant becomes familiar with the project, and will include:
1) Redesigning (as part of a 3-5 person team) existing PhET simulations, incorporating new findings on effective sim design and adapting designs for use on touch-devices. (Software programming is NOT required. PhET has a team of in-house software developers).
2) Designing new PhET simulations
3) Conducting user-testing through interviews of students using simulations
4) Supporting simulation design, development, and research efforts e.g. analyzing data, supporting classroom research studies, searching for web resources, etc.
5) Helping to liaison to and support the K12 community.
6) Assisting with marketing and dissemination of PhET resources to teachers: develop and represent PhET in online teaching forums and resources; run exhibit booths at national and local conferences; assist with teacher workshops.
7) Responding to inquiries to PhET about science/math questions and new simulation ideas
Part-time candidates will be considered, but must be able to work at least 20 hours per week.
The ideal candidate will have a background in teaching, preferably at the middle school or high school level. Disciplinary expertise in a science or math subject as well as pedagogical knowledge of the discipline will be considered highly valuable.
The successful candidate will work at the University of Colorado Boulder which is a national leader in STEM education with over 50 campus programs addressing STEM education and a new Center for Science Learning launched in 2012. The candidate will join the PhET Interactive Simulation project's growing team of 19 full and part-time faculty, researchers, teachers, software developers, and staff.
More information on PhET can be found at: http://phet.colorado.edu
Start Date: The start date is flexible. We will consider start dates as early as January 1, 2015, and as late as September 1, 2015.
The University of Colorado is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to building a diverse workforce. We encourage applications from women, racial and ethnic minorities, individuals with disabilities and veterans.

The University of Colorado conducts background checks on all final applicants being considered for employment.
Qualifications:
We will consider applicants who have completed a Bachelor's degree or higher, majoring in science or math education, or in a science or math discipline with education courses and experience.
Applicant must be highly organized, attentive to detail, proficient with Excel, adaptive, capable of multi-tasking, and able to complete projects in a timely manner. Applicant must have experience in K12 science or math education, have excellent communication skills, be able to work effectively in a team environment, and be skilled in computer use, typing, and writing skills.
Experience working in or with K12 schools, teachers, and students is required. Experience teaching at the middle school or high school level is highly desirable. Disciplinary expertise in a science or math subject as well as pedagogical knowledge of the discipline will be considered highly valuable. Familiarity with PhET and experience using PhET in teaching is desirable, but not required.
To apply:
All applicants must apply through JobsAtCU website:
https://www.jobsatcu.com/postings/89569
Applicants must complete "Design Task I" and "Data Task II" (see below), complete the Faculty/Exempt Professional and EEO Data (application) form, and upload a cover letter, a resume/curriculum vitae, and a statement describing your experience in science and/or math education along with your thoughts about teaching and learning as 'Statement of Teaching Philosophy'. In addition, a proof of degree (unofficial transcript) must be uploaded as 'Proof of Degree (Copy of Diploma or Unofficial Transcripts)', the Design Task must be uploaded as 'Research/Creative Work/Artist Statement', and the Data Task must be submitted. Finally, provide 3 references. We will solicit a letter of recommendation from one or more of these references.
