Postdoctoral Teacher

Description:

The teacher-scholar will help our faculty continue to develop the newly established interdisciplinary Data Analytics minor. They will also receive mentoring in course development and pedagogy. Depending on the scholar’s strengths and interests, the candidate selected may create assignments suitable for beginning and advanced courses; find data that could be used for assignments ranging from class discussions to capstone projects; explore opportunities for projects and internships for Data Analytics students; and develop assessment methods that may include Jupyter Notebooks, Rmarkdown, or other applications. The scholar will (co)-teach one or more of the core courses of the minor with the possibility of developing a course in their field which uses data-driven approaches.

Qualifications:

We are particularly interested in scholars whose research uses quantitative approaches to explore interdisciplinary issues such as environmental justice, minority health disparities, economic empowerment or other areas of social sciences. We prefer the successful candidate to have extensive experience in data analytics methods using the R platform. This position may be of particular interest to candidates seeking professional development in teaching or planning a career in which teaching will play a significant role. A terminal degree is required by the start date.
