View this position online:https://recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02279

POSITION OVERVIEW

Position title: Learning Assistant and Instructional Lab Coordinator

Percent time: 100

Anticipated start: 1/3/2023

APPLICATION WINDOW

Open date: September 21, 2022

Next review date: Thursday, November 11, 2022 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time)

Apply by this date to ensure full consideration by the committee.

Final date: Tuesday, January 31, 2023 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time)

Applications will continue to be accepted until this date, but those received after the review date will only be considered if the position has not yet been filled.

POSITION DESCRIPTION

The Department of Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, invites applications for the position of Academic Coordinator (AC) for the 2022-23 academic year, with the possibility of renewal, to work on courses in general physics or astronomy, depending on performance and budget constraints. Applications will be kept active for consideration until the position is filled. The position requires the physical presence of the applicant in the Santa Barbara area.

The department is looking to hire a passionate Academic Coordinator (AC) who will manage our Learning Assistant (LA) program, TA assignments, and Physics Study Room, and assist the Instructional Lab Group (ILG) to run, maintain, and improve instructional labs for UCSB undergraduate students. Working closely with the staff, faculty, grads, undergrads, and the Academic Coordinators of ILG, the new hire will maintain a scholarly and inclusive culture while performing a variety of educational and administrative duties. This position will be split as 60% LA Coordinator (LAC) and 40% Lab Coordinator (LC).

Learning Assistant Coordinator

The objective of the Learning Assistant Program is to bring the interactive and collaborative environment typical of a small-enrollment class to the large-enrollment upper-level and introductory physics major courses. Undergraduate students who have already performed well in a course are trained to actively help the next class of students to succeed, while receiving course credit for their training. Creating active-learning-based small group discussions within a large course has been demonstrated to substantially improve the quality of physics education, increase student understanding of and satisfaction with the coursework, and increase the level of understanding and teaching skills of the Learning Assistants.

The duties and responsibilities of the LAC involve managing undergraduate LAs, undergraduate Readers, graduate TAs, and the PSR. Tasks specifically include but are not limited to:

  • Recruiting LAs and Readers through advertising, information sessions, and personal engagement efforts on a quarterly and yearly basis.
  • Developing informational resources for LAs, students, and faculty regarding logistics and pedagogy surrounding LAs, TAs, and the PSR.
  • Actively participating in training Physics LAs and developing strategies for improving LA effectiveness.
  • Managing the Physics Study Room (PSR), including scheduling office hours, supervising LAs, TAs, and tutors, and implementing improvements to the PSR.
  • Coordinating with students, faculty, and staff on LA training within specific courses and the LA program as a whole.
  • Working towards improving department climate and diversity gaps in the context of LAs, TAs, and the PSR.

ILG Lab Coordinator

The Academic Coordinator will also provide general support to the Instructional Lab Group. The ILG is in charge of development, maintenance and administration of all undergraduate instructional laboratories and the associated coursework. AC responsibilities within the ILG include, but are not limited to, working both independently and also with other faculty & staff to:

  • Participate in the development, assembly, repair, and implementation of lecture demonstrations and lab equipment.
  • Actively participate in the training of faculty, grads, and undergrads regarding safety issues and operation of demonstrations and lab equipment.
  • Creating, testing, maintaining and updating laboratory manuals for various instructional lab courses.
  • Creating engaging content, including videos and online materials.
  • Joint oversight of TAs, including weekly training, and monitoring of performance.
  • Managing the TA roster and Gauchospace (Moodle) Webpage for each course.
  • Facilitating communication among TAs, staff, and faculty.
  • Direct involvement with course execution, such as dropping in and assisting with curriculum completion and questions beyond the scope of TA expertise.

In addition, the AC serves as a mediator between students and faculty in lower division courses, providing helpful and timely feedback regarding administrative details, material and room availability, and additional technical support.

The distribution of work will vary by week based on the quarterly schedule. Though there is a wide range of duties associated with the Lab Coordinator position, the AC will not be responsible for all of these duties at the same time.

Salary is based on UC salary scales and depends on qualifications and experience.

The department is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community.

QUALIFICATIONS

Basic qualifications(required at time of application)

  • Possess a Bachelor's Degree in Physics or a related technical field.

Preferred qualifications:

  • 1-2 years experience with at least one of the following: Python, Javascript, or Google App Script.
  • 1-2 years of experience in STEM Teaching at the undergraduate level or higher (including TAships).
  • 1-2 years of experience in a position that required administrative and organizational activities.
  • Demonstrated ability to write reports and communications to high-level grant-dispensing institutions.
  • strong interest in higher education and be comfortable with generating high quality learning content and strategies on a regular basis.
  • Proficient with most mathematics or physics concepts that may appear in courses up to the Bachelor’s level. Applicants should also have familiarity with experimental physics and its core principles.
  • interest in learning new technical skills and growing as an educator and administrator.
  • Previous experience managing students and academic programs focused on pedagogy.
