Postdoctoral Fellow |
| Description: |
***Position Announcement
***IES-Funded Postdoctoral Training Program in Mathematics Education Research
***University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
The College of Education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign seeks a postdoctoral fellow to participate in a new mathematics education research-training program, funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), U.S. Department of Education. The three-year position offers collaborative and independent research opportunities. The program will prepare fellows to address questions relevant to mathematics instruction and policy in a methodologically rigorous manner, and to serve as leaders in improving U.S. mathematics teaching and learning for diverse populations.
Specific research projects will be based upon the joint interests of the fellow and the UIUC faculty mentor(s). Three core faculty members will serve as program mentors: Dr. Sarah Theule Lubienski (mathematics achievement, equity, and reform; expertise in both qualitative and quantitative methods, including multi-level modeling of classroom and large-scale data), Dr. Arthur J. Baroody (non-experimental and experimental studies on the teaching and learning of basic number, counting, and arithmetic, with a particular focus on young children or those with learning difficulties), and Dr. Joseph P. Robinson (effects of policies and practices on the academic outcomes of English learners; expert in quasi-experimental research methods). Information on the program’s 16 affiliated faculty members can be found at: http://education.illinois.edu/jobs/IESMathEdPositionCOE.pdf.
We welcome applicants from the disciplines of education, related social sciences (economics, psychology, sociology), mathematics, statistics, or other suitable fields. The ideal applicant will have expertise in mathematics education or rigorous research methodologies (e.g., experimental or quasi-experimental design), with the objective of gaining substantial knowledge in the other domain. Desirable attributes also include strong analytic skills, experience with statistical software and large-scale datasets, and an interest in improving education for traditionally under-served students.
The position begins August 16, 2010. Applicants must possess their doctoral degree before that date. All qualified U.S. citizens and permanent residents will be considered. Salary is set by IES at $50,000 annually plus $10,500 in benefits. Additionally, each fellow will receive $7,000 annually for research expenses and $2,500–$5,000 annually for conference and other travel.
Interested applicants should submit a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, and up to two writing samples via email to Sarah Lubienski (stl@illinois.edu). Please also arrange to have three letters of recommendation emailed directly to Dr. Lubienski. Applicant review will begin February 26 2010, and will continue until the position is filled. Prospective applicants with questions about the position are encouraged to contact the PIs of the program: Sarah Lubienski (stl@illinois.edu), Art Baroody (baroody@illinois.edu) or Joe Robinson (jpr@illinois.edu).
The College of Education and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign provide strong support for research and opportunities for collaboration with leaders in the field. The College of Education is known for its groundbreaking research, innovative approaches to teaching, and service to the global community. The College is comprised of six departments, including Curriculum and Instruction and Educational Psychology, both ranked in the top 5 nationally according to U.S. News and World Report. The College has 90 faculty actively engaged in research and over 650 undergraduates and 1100 graduate students enrolled annually.
