Open Positions For Assistant Professors In Experimental Physics of graduate students, attract economical support, and teach undergraduate courses Presentactivities at the Department of Experimental physics include laser http://www.phys.umu.se/laser/AssProfs.html
Extractions: measurements of forces between biological objects, (Reg. no. 3152-1792-00) The Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology at Umeå University has recognized the potential of cross-fertilizing traditional research fields and has therefore decided to strengthen its interdisciplinary activities. Vigorous interactions have been created between chemistry and biology and similar couplings of physics to chemistry/biology are under way. These positions for development and applications of laser-based techniques for single molecule detection and force measurements between biological objects, which couple in part to ongoing activities at the Department, are a part of a long-term commitment to bring these fields closer. Candidates should have a background in experimental physics and be active in projects in which these techniques are developed and applied to studies of biomolecules and their properties performed in collaboration with both Experimental Physicists and Chemists at the Faculty. Successful candidates should pursue high quality research, assist in the supervision of graduate students, attract economical support, and teach undergraduate courses in physics. Candidates should have a Ph.D. degree (or equivalent) in physics, preferably not more than 5 years old. Each position is for two years, normally with a two-year prolongation.

Academic Activities Academic activities. in using appropriate technology to find better ways to teachcalculus to undergraduate students majoring in engineering and physics. http://www.mste.uiuc.edu/users/Murphy/Work.html
Extractions: I am a graduate student in Mathematics Education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign . My advisor is Kenneth J. Travers . (Ken's advisees generally think he walks on water, and we're a pretty perceptive bunch.) I am particularly interested in using appropriate technology to find better ways to teach calculus to undergraduate students majoring in engineering and physics. I have written a few papers, which are available on the web. These papers are mostly about calculus instruction in one way or another, with a lot of attention to the use of technology to increase understanding. My dissertation is a comparison of two ways of using technology to introduce the derivative in a first-semester calculus course. This is the part of my site that should be changing most rapidly this semesterbut hasn't been. I'll try to do better. Really, Mom, I'm working on it. One of the instructional methods in my study uses a computer and an ultrasonic motion detector, produced by Vernier Software . As the student walks back and forth in front of the detector, the computer displays a graph of the student's motion. Motion detectors have been used successfully to teach graphing concepts to students from middle school through college. I am using the motion detector to help the students see how the speed of the motion is represented by the slope of the distance graph and the height of the velocity graph. Once this conceptual link between the slope of one graph and the magnitude of another is established, it forms a foundation for understanding the derivative.

We started this Initiative because we believe that working on real space missions will definitely increase your motivation and experience in space technology. Participating at the Initiative will also increase your contacts with other students all over Europe and ESA. INTERNATIONAL ASTRONAUTICAL FEDERATION IAF 2001 The European Space Agency is committed to its mandate to encourage the youth of Europe to actively prepare for, and participate in, the building of their future through a better knowledge of (space) technology and sciences, with the aim of ensuring an appropriately skilled workforce into the 21st century. To this end, ESA has initiated a project to sponsor the transportation and accommodation of 400 European students to attend the 52nd IAF Congress in Toulose.

Extractions: The Quantum Mechanics Simulations is one volume in series of nine books/software packages developed by Consortium for Upper-Level Physics Software (CUPS ) project. The simulations included in this volume cover most of the topics studied in junior/senior level Quantum Mechanics course. These simulations include complex calculations of models of various quantum phenomena. The topics cover Bound States in One and Three Dimensions and Cylindrically Symmetric Potentials, Stationary Scattering States in One and Three Dimensions, Electron States in Lattice , Time Development of Quantum States and Identical Particles. The incorporation of these simulations in the senior level Quantum Mechanics course , including in-class demonstrations and homework assignments, will be presented.
