Two Tenure Track Positions in Mathematics Education
Department of Teaching and Learning
The Department of Teaching and Learning invites applications for an open rank tenure-track position in mathematics education with an emphasis on the elementary level, beginning fall 2010.
The Department seeks an individual with a strong research program or the clear potential for one that focuses on the learning and teaching of mathematics to elementary school-aged children. The Department prefers individuals with research interests that focus on one or more of the following: equity and diversity in mathematics, mathematics teacher education, the design of innovative learning environments, mathematical modeling and argumentation, or the institutional setting of mathematics teaching and learning. Applicants for the position at a junior level should have: an earned doctorate in mathematics education, the learning sciences, or a related field; a demonstrated commitment to teaching; and the promise of a strong research program. Applicants for the position at a senior level should also have an established record of external funding. Although applicants' research interests might be diverse, they should have the expertise, mathematics background, and experience in classrooms necessary to contribute to the conceptualization and development of an innovative mathematics teacher education program at the elementary level. The Peabody environment is one in which collaboration is highly valued and in which there are many opportunities to work with members of other program areas. The successful applicants will teach graduate and undergraduate courses and advise students. Applications will be reviewed beginning October 15, 2009, and will continue until the position is filled.
Please submit application materials electronically to Ms. Abby Keel at abby.keel@vanderbilt.edu. The materials should include: a letter of interest, no more than two publications (or manuscripts in progress), and current vita. In addition, please arrange for three referees to send letters of reference to: Paul Cobb, Chair, Mathematics Education Search Committee; Peabody College, Box 330; Vanderbilt University; Nashville, TN 37203.
Inquiries should be sent to paul.cobb@vanderbilt.edu. Prospective applicants are encouraged to visit the Vanderbilt Peabody College website at http://peabody.vanderbilt.edu/.
