Please forward to students who may be interested. Thanks in advance.
The Science Education And Society (SEAS) research program ( http://seasprogram.net) is recruiting graduate students as RAs and TAs (Masters and PhD) to be a part of many exciting projects related to science education. We are a new lab housed in the College of the Environment and Life Sciences (CELS) at the University of Rhode Island ( http://web.uri.edu/cels-gradprograms/bes/). We pursue broad questions relating to educational psychology, identity constructs and social belonging among K-PhD students (especially URMs), with an interest in how our findings can inform curriculum development and general campus climate. We seek students who have a strong disciplinary background in biology and are primarily interested in pursuing a career relating to science education research. Our program collaborates closely with the College of Education, the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology. Students have the option of pursuing courses and collaborations with these departments and others in line with their research interests. Students interested in PhD or Masters course of study are strongly encouraged to contact me (Dr. Bryan M. Dewsbury) directly by email (dewsb...@mail.uri.edu) with a CV and an introductory letter indicating why you might be a good fit for this program. The university deadline for application is January 15th, 2015, so interested students should contact me well in advance of that deadline. Thanks in advance. -- Bryan Dewsbury, PhD Assistant Professor Department of Biology University of Rhode Island 120 Flagg Road, Kingston, RI, 02881 Phone - (401) 874 2248 Fax - (401) 874 4256 Office: CBLS 483 Lab: Woodward Hall 112 http://web.uri.edu/bio/bryan-dewsbury/ @BMDewsbury
