Research opportunity in biology education at the undergraduate level. The Momsen lab (https://sites.google.com/site/jmomsen/) in the Department of Biological Sciences at North Dakota State University is accepting applications for a highly motivated PhD graduate student to begin Fall 2012 or Spring 2013. Current research threads include (1) the role of visualizations in learning biology, (2) the development of systems thinking skills in biology students, and (3) characterizing the beliefs and learning habits of rural, frontier, and urban biology students. Opportunities exist to collaborate across science and math disciplines.
Interested applicants should send a CV, cover letter, transcript (unofficial is acceptable) to Jennifer Momsen (jennifer.mom...@ndsu.edu). Students are supported primarily through teaching assistantships, although fellowship opportunities are possible. Additional details about the department and graduate program can be found on the NDSU Biological Sciences website (http://www.ndsu.edu/biology/).
