What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populatedfrom NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: advanced (Level 4)(based on Doctoral Degree)

Departmental and program-level curricula in atmospheric, earth, marine, and space sciences — set direction for, leading faculty review cycles and aligning offerings with institutional and disciplinary priorities.
Junior faculty and postdoctoral instructors — mentor and develop by modeling best practices in lecturing, assessment design, and research integration at a research-intensive university.
Institutional academic standards for postsecondary science instruction — shape by contributing expertise to accreditation committees, academic senates, and curriculum governance bodies.
Large-scale externally funded research programs — lead, integrating findings into graduate curricula and creating experiential learning opportunities that advance the discipline.
Strategic instructional innovation initiatives — champion by evaluating emerging educational technologies, scientific software platforms, and active-learning models for adoption across the department.
Cross-departmental and interdisciplinary degree programs — architect in collaboration with colleagues from physics, mathematics, and environmental science to address complex workforce and societal needs.
Organizational assessment and program evaluation frameworks — design and implement at the department or college level, using systems evaluation methods to drive continuous improvement in science education.
Public and professional discourse on atmospheric, earth, or space science education — lead through keynote addresses, policy testimony, and high-impact publications that influence the field nationally.
Departmental culture of intellectual curiosity, innovation, and cooperation — cultivate by modeling scholarly excellence and establishing shared norms for teaching and research in a postsecondary science unit.
Institutional responses to non-routine academic challenges such as curriculum accreditation risks or enrollment crises — guide through complex problem solving and executive-level judgment in a research university environment.
