SCIENCE EDUCATION RESEARCH
Caltech, Pasadena, Cali

The Caltech Precollege Science Initiative (CAPSI) has a
position for a researcher with strong capabilities for
qualitative and quantitative field studies. CAPSI, in
collaboration with the Education Development Center, is about
to begin a three year NSF-funded project to study the
sustainability of systemic elementary science education
reform. This person will take a lead role in that project,
and also in helping to develop a new ongoing research effort
by CAPSI.

The project will involve field studies in ten "reform" school
districts with systemic programs that have been in place from
3 to 25 years. Experience in public schools is desirable.
There is also an opportunity on the project for a Ph.D.
thesis student. Salary is negotiable, depending on
qualifications, and Caltech has excellent benefits. Work on
the project will start 1/1/99

CAPSI is located on the Caltech Campus in Pasadena,
California, and has for the past 13 years been successfully
involved in a broad range of projects to improve K-12 science
education. Descriptions of major CAPSI programs are featured
as examples of effective scientist/educator collaboration at
the National Academy of Sciences Web site,

Director, at jpmail@capsi.caltech.edu or phone 626-395-6677.
