To: SABER listserv <saber-l...@googlegroups.com>
The Bioengineering Department at Stanford University is inviting applications for an Engineering Education Fellow, focusing on curricular design and assessment, to take a lead role alongside faculty and lecturers to augment and integrate quantitative skills practice across core undergraduate Bioengineering courses. The Engineering Education Fellow will also lead department efforts to plan, create, and deploy course-level and curriculum-level assessments of quantitative skills and accessibility. This is a unique opportunity to join an exciting and collaborative department and to help define the future of Bioengineering education. The Fellow will train in evidence-based practices for curricular design and assessment methodologies and will directly engage in course (re)development with faculty, as well as with Stanford’s Center for Teaching and Learning, preparing them for further opportunities as an educator in Bioengineering and related disciplines.
Strong applicants will typically have earned a PhD in Bioengineering, Biophysics, or a related engineering/scientific field, and they will have demonstrated interest and experience in education and how learning works. Experience with learning activity design and learning assessment is highly desirable, though it is not required. The primary focus of the Fellow will be on improving student learning in core courses, with a key emphasis on quantitative skills development and in-context application in preparation for more advanced bioengineering study and work. The Fellow will support this goal by working with faculty, lecturers, graduate teaching assistants, and undergraduate students to define fundamental quantitative skill learning goals, improve skills development activities/opportunities within courses, and create and deploy assessments to measure student competencies in these skills. While the position does not explicitly include significant classroom instruction or course leadership opportunities, the Fellow may lead some classroom and section learning sessions in support of the overall goals of the effort, especially if classroom instruction experience is part of the Fellow’s training goals.
The appointment begins during Fall 2024 or Winter 2025, with expectation for a mutual two-year commitment. There may be the possibility of extending for one additional year, depending on funding availability and performance. The expected base pay range for this position is $73,800 - $93,000 per annum. The pay offered to the selected candidate will be determined based on factors including (but not limited to) the qualifications of the selected candidate, budget availability, and internal equity. External hires will also be eligible for benefits, please visit the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs benefits website for more information.
Applicants should submit the following materials: a letter that addresses interest in the opportunity and qualifications, including any relevant experience in course development and assessment in science/engineering education; a current curriculum vitae; and contact information for three references. At least one reference should be able to address the applicant’s experience or qualifications/promise as an educator.
Application materials should be submitted at the following web form: https://forms.gle/YKkKbiJRyfZFjPqv9
Applications will be reviewed as they are received, with initial interviews happening via teleconference on an ongoing basis.
