Subject: position at Iowa State
Hi Stacey,
Below is an announcement for a position in the Human Computer Interaction
program
at Iowa State University. This is an interdisciplinary program and the
faculty hires in
this program can be in any departmental home. Thus, while it may not be a
position
for many in Chem Ed., if there are people whose research interest lies in
areas such
as computer visualization and the effect of such efforts on science
learning, they may
be qualified for this position.
If you think this may be of interest to some fraction of the list, please
consider posting
this message to the list as a whole. Thanks,
Tom
