[RUME] Post doc opportunity

[Natasha Speer]

If you know of anyone looking for a post-doc position in mathematics  
or science education, please pass this information on to them. I've  
pasted in the text of the ad below. The start date is negotiable.

I'd be happy to answer questions or provide more information about the  
position. It's a very interdisciplinary environment, with lots of  
opportunities for collaboration on research projects as well as  
opportunities for independent research, teaching of both content and  
education courses and working with graduate students. In particular,  
at the moment some of the physics ed folk are looking at how students  
use and understand various calculus ideas in physics course and math  
course contexts.
