Busy busy

Hello loyal readers!

Posts here at PERjobs have slowed down lately for two reasons. First, we're moving out of the season when most jobs are posted, so there are fewer jobs to post. Second, I've been traveling a lot and am behind on my email. I have 53 unread messages from automated job sites with job ads in them, of which some are likely to be relevant to PERjobs and all of which came in the last two weeks.

Email from real people always takes priority over email from automated sites. If you see something we've missed, please send it perjobs@gmail.com.

Thanks!

2 PhD studentships at Erasmus University Rotterdam

In the practice of education, tests are mostly used for assessment purposes only. However, research in cognitive psychology has demonstrated that the memory for tested information is also strengthened by the retrieval process during the test. This so-called ‘testing effect’ implies that testing information can provide a long-term benefit over restudying the same information and can prevent memory decay for learned information. The research projects “The power of self-testing for comprehension” (Project 1) and “Optimizing test-enhanced learning in an educationally relevant context: The influence of retention interval, learner expertise, and feedback” (Project 2) are both aimed at applying the testing effect to education, especially to learning from texts. Project 1 focuses on the question whether tests can enhance both long-term retention as well as comprehension of texts. Project 2 focuses on the question when and en how often tests should be used to prevent the forgetting of learned information.

The two PhD candidates will closely collaborate in their research projects. Also, the candidates will be employed as tutors for courses in the field of cognitive psychology, educational psychology and/or research methodology.

Your profile

Master's degree in Cognitive Psychology or Educational Psychology, or a related field
Excellent research and writing skills and experience with experimental research (preferably in applied settings)
Excellent mastery of both written and spoken English
