Graduate Assistantship Positions

The College of Engineering & The Judith Herb College of Education

The INITIATE program (http://www.utoledo.edu/research/initiate/ ) is seeking doctoral students to work on cyber security, smart vehicles, and educational research within the National Science Foundation-funded grant called STEM + C. The position(s) will be available beginning in the Spring semester of 2019.

 

STEM + C focuses on the integration of computational thinking and computing activities in high school to provide a strong and developmental foundation in computing and computational thinking through the integration of computing in STEM teaching and learning, and/or the applied integration of STEM content in 9-12 computer science education.

 

The grant is anticipated to be funded through Summer 2020 and will cover half time graduate assistantships for both the academic year and summers. Summers are required for anyone accepting the assistantship.

 

Doctoral students will be required to participate in both the educational programming and research components of this program. Money may be available for travel to conferences when presenting research studies related to grant-supported activities. The assistantship covers full time tuition and the college-specific standard stipend for the academic year and summer. Assistantships are awarded contractually for fall/spring and summer separately; renewal is contingent upon availability of funding and student performance on the project.

 

For Engineering students, preference will be given to doctoral students with research backgrounds in cyber security, intelligent transportation systems, software engineering, or machine learning. Students are required to have a strong programming background.

 

For Judith Herb College of Education students, preference will be given to doctoral students who are in mathematics education and high school education. Students in science or technology education or other teacher education backgrounds will also be considered. Preference will also be given to students who have either attended or worked at our partnering school district: Toledo Public Schools.

 

For more information about the doctoral degree programs offered within the Judith Herb College of Education or the College of Engineering at The University of Toledo, please visit the links below: Judith Herb College of Education: http://www.utoledo.edu/education/programs/index.html ; College of Engineering:http://www.utoledo.edu/engineering/ .

 

If you are interested in applying for these graduate assistant opportunities, please send your CV, letter of interest, and a list of 2 references to Dr. Lacey Strickler-Eppard at lacey.strickler@utoledo.edu .

Women and members of underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.

Congratulations to Dr. Lynne Hamer from Educational Foundations and Leadership, Dr. Lisa Kovach from Educational Foundations and Leadership, and Dr. Rebecca Schneider from Curriculum and Instruction for their participation in the UT Leadership Institute for the 2018-2019 class.  The program, launched by President Sharon Gabor and Provost Andrew Hsu in 2016, is to provide professional development to help prepare future academic leaders.  Drs. Hamer and Schneider are members of the third cohort of 22 faculty members chosen.

Susan Parks and her students have been recognized by Valerie Dreier, Principal of Old Orchard Elementary School, for their important literacy work and help with the 3rdGrade Reading Guarantee. Each student works one-on-one with a student on their reading proficiency. Considerable reading gains have been demonstrated with the students along with improvements in their academic confidence and general self-esteem. Congratulations to Susan and her students on this important academic work!

Judith Herb, center, returned to her alma mater to dedicate the Herb Innovation Center in the Judith Herb College of Education. She is pictured here with UT President Sharon L. Gaber and Dr. Raymond Witte, dean of the Judith Herb College of Education. Located on the third floor of Gillham Hall, the center’s mission is to evaluate and inspire peer-reviewed research in the college to improve and advance education and endow a great society.

 

Drs. Marcella Kehus (JHCOE, C&I) and Noela Haughton (JHCOE, EDFL) visited Tonghua Experimental School in Jilin Province, China.  The school is operated in collaboration with North East Normal University and the invitation to visit was extended by Principal Junfeng Ju. Drs. Kehus and Haughton were also given 3-year appointments as development counselors for the school (akin to advisory board memberships).  They hope to include Tonghua Experimental School as one of the sites for the next International Leadership in Education Assessment and Pedagogy Practicum (I_LEAP) in Summer 2019.

The Judith Herb College of Education dedicated the Herb Innovation Center last week. Attending the Oct. 4 event were, from left, Dr. Raymond Witte, dean of the Judith Herb College of Education; UT President Sharon L. Gaber; Judith Herb, UT alumna and benefactor; and Dr. Andrew Hsu, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs. Located on the third floor of Gillham Hall, the center’s mission is to evaluate and inspire peer-reviewed research in the college to improve and advance education and endow a great society. “We are grateful to Judith Herb for her generosity and dedication to her alma mater, and for her belief in the power of education,” Witte said.
