Perth, Western Australia beBeeOpportunity Full time $70,000 - $120,000
About the Opportunity

This project offers a chance to conduct in-depth research in science education, focusing on the impact of teacher upskilling in Einsteinian Science on students' subject choices and career outcomes.

The postgraduate student will examine factors influencing professional development programs, including evaluation and optimisation of micro-credential courses using selected assessment instruments. The student will also research teachers' views on these developments and their impact on teaching efficacy and attitudes towards teaching science.

Research Areas
  • Evaluation of Primary or Secondary students' understanding and attitudes towards modern physics concepts
  • Tracking subject choices beyond Year 10 of students who undertake Einstein-First programs

The postgraduate student will track primary and secondary students to evaluate how their attitudes change as they advance through year levels and assess students' choice of subjects to determine whether teaching Einsteinian physics impacts their career choices in STEM.

In joining this project, you will be contributing to creating a revolutionary new school curriculum that aligns with our modern understanding of the universe, relevant to modern technologies, and focused on innovations needed to face future challenges.

Project Details

Research will take place in multiple locations across Australia at linked schools. Postgraduate positions can be supported at several universities, and students will need to identify a topic relevant to the types of projects outlined above and separately enrol in Masters or Doctoral programs at one of these institutions according to discussions with team members.

Students enrolled in other universities will have the opportunity to work with the team while undertaking research led from their home university.

Requirements and Qualifications
  • Australian permanent residents need to satisfy entrance requirements for postgraduate enrolment
  • Strong analytical and research skills, proficiency in data collection and analysis, excellent written and verbal communication skills, ability to work independently and collaboratively with interdisciplinary teams

Candidates should submit a letter of interest explaining why they are interested in this project and how they will contribute using their previous knowledge, along with a detailed CV and contact information for two academic referees.
