Together we will help new GSIs get ready to teach biology. The details: As a GSM, your job duties will include: 1) attending the intro session (almost certainly Tuesday evening, Sept. 8) and helping to lead the Monday night meetings for the first half of the semester, 2) some observing of GSIs as they teach, and 3) additional consulting/meetings as needed. In return, you will receive an extra 0.137 on your appointment -- so if you are currently at 0.5, as a GSM you will be at 0.637. Additionally, this will be a great experience for those of you interested in jobs that will involve teaching and mentoring. I was a GSM while a grad student in EEB. I found it to be a fun experience, but also useful in my job searches and during my experience as a faculty member. Who is eligible: Grad students in EEB or MCDB that have had at least TWO semesters of GSI experience. Additionally (and unfortunately), due to Visa restrictions, only domestic students will be eligible (Visa holders can't have a 0.637 appointment). To apply: If you are interested, please email me ASAP at leidieti@umich.edu. Please briefly introduce yourself and list your previous teaching experience (course, semester, lab or discussion) here at U of M. Please also contact me with any questions about this position. I look forward to meeting all of you soon! Laura Eidietis Lecturer III Dept. of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology University of Michigan Email: leidieti@umich.edu 97AE5007-DB66-4DBD-BC49-66B4EAF3449D Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:17:32 -0400 I am seeking a biology graduate student who is interested in college biology teaching and/or assessment of student learning to collaborate with a group of biologists and science educators on a new project designed to improve college biology teaching and student learning. The departments of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology (EEB) and Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology (MCDB) have recently revised the three-course introductory biology sequence required of all biology-related concentrations and students with interests in the health professions. The IDEA Institute has funded a project to assess the impacts of this new curriculum on student learning of core biology concepts as well as students’ understanding of the nature of science and science inquiry skills. EEB & MCDB want to know how the new curriculum is working (or not working) and I hope to use the assessments to further improve teaching in these core courses. The project fits with IDEA Institute’s vision to forge collaborations between SOE and the natural science departments at UM. The three year project has funds to support a biology graduate student on a part-time basis. A biology graduate student who has a current appointment as a GSI (or GSRA) would work with us for an additional for 5 to 10 hours/week (an additional 12 to 25% effort beyond GSI duties). In this project, you would be part of a working team composed of biologists and science educators who are designing (and modifying) assessments of biology content knowledge and science process skills and designing instructional materials for college level biology. You would learn a lot about foundational ideas in college biology, how to develop assessment instruments, and how to work in a multi-disciplinary working group. If you are interested in working with us on this project, or require additional information, please contact me by phone or by email. I hope you join us!
