Postdoc at Berkeley
https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/apply/JPF00449
We seek a postdoctoral
scholar to join the Visualizing to Integrate Student Understanding for
All Learners (VISUAL) and Continuous Learning and Automated Scoring in
Science (CLASS) projects in science and technology education. (See
TELSCenter.org for more details.)
The scholar will work in a multidisciplinary
collaboration funded by the National Science Foundation, including
leaders in education, technology, and the science disciplines. Dr.
Marcia Linn, at University of California Berkeley, is the Principal
Investigator. Lydia Liu, at Educational Testing Service, Inc. directs a
subcontract on automated scoring and analysis.
The scholar will join researchers who are
creating new technologies to design and assess open-ended inquiry
activities to improve student understanding of complex science topics.
We focus specifically on effective ways to design and incorporate
visualization technologies and on ways to provide adaptive guidance as
student’s progress through inquiry projects. We seek activities for
students as well as technologies to support teachers as they guide
classes using online, interactive units in middle school and high
school.
The work draws from current research on
teaching, learning, computer science, software design, and computational
linguistics. The group builds on previously successful uses of
technology such as the Web-based Inquiry Science Environment (WISE).
This research will contribute to design and assessment frameworks to
guide future education researchers, curriculum and assessment designers,
and policy makers.
The postdoctoral scholar will conduct a
research program, collaborate on the design of new learning technologies
(including innovations in graphing in science, autoscoring of
assessments, and adaptive guidance), author curriculum materials to test
ways to take advantage of visualizations including graphs, and
collaborate with local schools as part of a team. The scholar will have
the opportunity to learn about advances on all fronts of technology and
education and to contribute to all aspects of the work. The scholar
will conduct and analyze research studies in collaboration with the
various members of the TELS Research Community, guide designs for
automated scoring and data reports and representations, as well as
coordinate annual reports, Human Subjects protocols, teacher workshops,
and research meetings. Using the knowledge integration framework, the
scholar will design and refine curriculum and assessments, help adapt
implementations for specific school sites, and analyze and disseminate
research findings.
Minimum Qualification: Ph.D. or equivalent in
education, psychology, mathematics, natural science, engineering,
computer science, or a related discipline at the time of application.
Additional Qualifications: Candidates should
have a background in the natural sciences, engineering, mathematics, or
computer science and research experience relevant to the learning
sciences. Experience in the design, implementation, and analysis of
science materials and assessments, understanding of data mining and
analysis techniques, and quantitative analysis skills are strong assets.
Applicants should demonstrate the ability to work on a team, skill in
collaborating with teachers and school leaders, interest in working in
partnerships to develop innovations, strong writing skills, and interest
in designing and analyzing complex research studies conducted in school
settings.
We seek a candidate who can start as early as
late summer or early fall of 2014. The start date is negotiable. The
position, which has an annual salary starting at $50,194, is for one
year with possible renewal for a second and third year.
All letters will be treated as confidential per
University of California policy and California state law. Please refer
potential referees, including when cover letters are provided via a
third party (i.e., dossier service or career center), to the UC Berkeley
Statement of Confidentiality found at http://apo.chance.berkeley.edu/evalltr.html] prior to submitting their letters.
