The director will collaborate with faculty in the College of Education and Human Development, Arts and Sciences, School of Engineering, the Medical School, other institutional units, and local educators. This initiative comes at a critical time when reports point out concerns with student learning in mathematics and science and shortages of qualified teachers in these disciplines. The Commonwealth of Kentucky continues the momentum of educational improvement initiated with KERA and provides fiscal support to address these concerns. The University of Louisville joins in this effort with the creation of an exciting Center and seeks an imaginative individual who will collaborate with others to create a tradition of excellence in securing external funding and producing research to support the previously noted mission and goals. In addition, candidates should meet the criteria for appointment as a tenured full professor and as a University Scholar or Distinguished University Scholar at the University of Louisville.
Salary is competitive and based on qualifications and experience.
The starting date is negotiable. Preference will be given to candidates who are interested in an August 2001 beginning date. The University of Louisville is a metropolitan research university of approximately 21,000 students. The College offers an array of programs leading to bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees.
