Postdoc at TERC

Postdoc at TERC

I am pleased to share with you the attached announcement of a Postdoctoral Fellowship opportunity sponsored by the Education Research Collaborative at TERC in Cambridge, MA.  We invite applications for a two-year residential research fellowship.  The fellowship program is focused broadly on transformative research on teaching and learning that intentionally seeks to expand formal and/or informal educational opportunities for children, youth and adults from historically under-represented communities.  We are particularly interested in work focused in the sciences, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM), or cross-disciplinary studies (e.g., spanning the sciences, mathematics, arts, humanities, social sciences).

A major component of the fellowship program is to foster a scholarly learning community in which Postdoctoral Fellows develop their research and writing in a supportive environment, work directly with a mentor or mentor team, and share their emerging work with the broader TERC community. They also have opportunities to collaborate with ongoing R&D projects and develop grant proposal and manuscript writing skills.

Many thanks in advance for distributing this announcement widely among your students and within your professional networks.

All my best,
Beth
