The postdoctoral researcher will be a full participant in shaping this intellectual research agenda and will support it by:

1. researching and drafting a comprehensive profile of learning analytics practices related to the full spectrum of development including social learning and dispositional analytics;
2. assembling, evaluating and organizing a repository of assessment instruments and protocols that focus on assessing important and elusive aspects of formation, such as ethical and reflective judgment, critical empathy, leadership, resilience, risk-taking and integrative thinking;
3. documenting and integrating the work of the research team into the larger project.

The postdoctoral researcher can expect professional development in a collaborative environment and significant opportunity for co-authoring publications. He or she will have the opportunity to work with a wide range of academic and institutional departments.

The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. and demonstrated qualitative and quantitative research and analysis skills. Background and strengths should include one or more of the following: learning sciences, higher education educational measurement, psychometrics, statistics, discipline-based education research, learning analytics, and program assessment and evaluation. The successful candidate will also have excellent writing, communication, and organizational skills as well as the ability to work well independently and collaboratively.
