Teaching Scholars

Published 10 April 07 09:50 AM | robyn.owens 

UWA has a scheme designed to extend the University’s teaching development opportunities to those embarking upon an academic career. It's called the Teaching Scholars Program, and it provides a scholarship worth approximately $17,500 for 6 months, available to recently completed doctoral candidates. Teaching Scholars

  • develop the practical experience of teaching in universities, especially in relation to first year undergraduates;
  • extend their understanding of relevant issues in the teaching and learning sector;
  • obtain professional development; and
  • undertake a project leading to an article that is submitted to a fully refereed teaching and learning journal.

And if you're interested in being a Teaching Scholar in the second semester of 2007, you need to submit an application before 31 May 2007! :)

About robyn.owens

I started my academic life doing a BSc (Hons) in Mathematics at UWA before going to Oxford to complete an MSc and a DPhil, also in Mathematics. I then spent three years in Paris at l'Université de Paris-Sud, Orsay, continuing research in mathematical analysis and going to lots of movies before returning to UWA to work as a research mathematician. I have lectured in Maths and Computer Science at UWA, as well as for short periods at Berkeley, The University of Canterbury in Christchurch, and Prince Songkla University in Thailand. My research has focussed on computer vision, including feature detection in images, 3D shape measurement, image understanding, and representation.
