Two Postdocs at Berkeley

POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS IN QUANTITATIVE METHODS AND EVALUATION

GRADUATE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION, UC BERKELEY

The Graduate School of Education (GSE) at the University of California, Berkeley, is seeking two fulltime postdoctoral fellows to work with Sophia Rabe-Hesketh and Mark Wilson in the Quantitative Methods and Evaluation (QME) Program. The fellowships are funded by the Institute of Education Studies (US Dept. of Education). Fellows will advance their methodological expertise and conduct research in critical areas of educational practice. They can participate in a range of existing projects associated with the QME Program and the Berkeley Evaluation and Assessment Research (BEAR) Center, and they may also initiate their own projects. We currently have ongoing projects on the development and evaluation of assessment systems, including assessments of the reading comprehension skills of middle-school students, statistical reasoning by middle school students, science knowledge among upper elementary school students, and entry-level elementary school teachers' pedagogic content knowledge. We also have current projects investigating the effects of educational interventions on student outcomes, including an evaluation of different professional development designs for science teachers, a comparison of different instructional practices in math education, and estimation of the benefits of attending preschool. In all these projects, the research conducted by the postdoctoral fellows can either have a relatively stronger substantive focus or be more methodological in nature. Postdoctoral fellows will be able to take courses on measurement, evaluation, and statistics within the GSE and across the campus. During the fellowship period, we will invite experts in research methodology to hold workshops and interact directly with the postdoctoral fellows.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Education or a related area with a strong background in quantitative methods, or a Ph.D. in a quantitative discipline with a strong interest in education. Some knowledge of Item Response Theory (IRT) and/or multilevel modeling would be an advantage. The expected duration of the fellowships is 2 years with an approximate start date of September 1, 2009. The annual stipend of the fellowship is $50,000, with family health insurance, and an allowance for travel and research support.

Please submit a statement of interest, not exceeding 5 pages, and a your CV to: Professor Sophia Rabe-Hesketh, Graduate School of Education, 3659 Tolman Hall, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720-1670 by a postdate of April 6, 2009 (sophiarh@berkeley.edu).

Hello PER Jobs readers!

At the AAPT/AAAS meeting last week, we got some lovely press from the PERTG. If you just stumbled upon PER Jobs, welcome! PER Jobs is a comprehensive listing of all jobs of interest to the Physics Education Research Community. We post PhD studentships through Deanships, teaching and research, in science departments (from cognitive science to physics), schools of education, industry, and other associated fields. We post mainly US jobs because that's most of the jobs we find, but we also post international jobs. If you find a job that's not posted, send it to perjobs@gmail.com.

We have two wonderful new editors, MP (who started several months ago) and MB (who started this morning). Both of them were readers before they became editors, and I'm really excited that the community of editors is growing. They join me, LE, and a small group of regular contributors. If you're a loyal reader, think about becoming an editor too!

Lately, a number of people have emailed perjobs@gmail.com asking for a (paid) job. PER Jobs does not have a paid staff, and we don't collect resumes for potential applicants for other positions. If you need help searching the site, there's a search box at the upper left and some post tags to the right. You can also email perjobs@gmail.com with questions. Please do not spam your resume to us. If you want to be an editor, we don't need your CV. A letter of interest is sufficient.
