\nfor january 2019. citizen science is an innovative program designed to provide
\nopportunities for students in their first year of college to develop their personal
\nscience literacy through hands-on, real-world coursework and projects. we ask\u2026<\/p>\n\n
\nissues?<\/li>\n
\nchallenges they face in their lives and respond to the scientific issues of their
\nday?<\/li>\n
\nscientific claims, and how can we be sure that the conduct, analysis, and
\ninterpretation of science are not unduly influenced by political or other
\npotentially distorting factors?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nscience program will tackle urgent, present-day questions related to water. we will
\nexplore the properties of water, as well as how these properties influence the
\ncontamination (and decontamination) of drinking water. we will also consider the
\nextent to which problems of contamination are not purely scientific in nature:
\nwhere and how does politics enter the picture? in what ways are social, historical,
\nand political factors at work even when we think we are engaged in \u201cobjective\u201d
\nscience? using laboratory investigations and active classroom discussions during
\nthese few intensive january weeks, the focus will be on the creation, analysis, and
\ninterpretation of scientific evidence.<\/p>\n
\na stem related discipline<\/strong> and be willing to engage students of all disciplines in a
\ncommon educational experience. no specific background in the science of water is
\nrequired. prior teaching experience is not a requirement, although candidates with
\nevidence of training in or experience with the application of best practices in
\nundergraduate stem education will be given special consideration.<\/p>\n
\n27, 2018<\/strong> for mandatory faculty training. faculty will be required to arrive to
\ncampus for the citizen science program the first week of january for pre-program
\nwork. the program runs through friday, january 25, 2019. travel, food and
\ndormitory housing will be provided for both the july and january sessions, and
\nfaculty will receive a stipend payable at the end of the january session.<\/p>\n
\n2018.<\/strong> we will give preference to applications received by monday, april 30th<\/strong>. applications received after april 30th will be accepted and considered on a rolling basis until all positions are filled.
