A MS research position is available in the Department of Biology at East Carolina University, focused on biology and science education, starting summer 2016. Research projects are flexible, but center around technology use in K-12 or undergraduate biology classes. Ongoing research includes investigating the effective use of video games for young students to learn science process skills, comparing effective undergraduate scientific discourse in online versus face-to-face settings, and the use of simulations in Problem Based Learning undergraduate classes. Background in biology or science education required. North Carolina residency a plus, but not essential. MS program has potential to lead into a PhD program. Come join a newly formed cross-disciplinary collaborative unit of scientists and science educators (STEM CoRE) at ECU. For more information, contact Kristine Callis-Duehl (callisduehl...@ecu.edu).
