Brown University
The Annenberg Institute at Brown University (AIB) is seeking a postdoctoral research associate for a one-year appointment, with the possibility of renewal for a second year, to join a diverse community of scholars committed to educational equity and improvement. The postdoctoral research associate will participate in collaborative research activities with at least one of our affiliated faculty, including Lindsay Page, John Papay, Nathaniel Schwartz, John Diamond, Jesse Bruhn, Christopher Cleveland, Susan Moffitt, Matthew Kraft, and others, on issues related to US PK-16 education policy. Applicants should have a substantive interest in PK-16 education and deep expertise with quantitative, qualitative, and/or mixed methods research. The Institute is especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute, through their research, and/or service, to the diversity and excellence of the academic community. We are particularly interested in scholars with expertise in: · the intersection of education and climate change, including the risks that climate change poses for public education and the ways in which schools can contribute to climate solutions (to work with Matt Kraft); · special education, including funding and accountability (to work with Christopher Cleveland); · race and education (to work with John Diamond and/or Prudence Carter); · teacher workforce development and career decisions (to work with John Papay and Nate Schwartz); · educational pathways, attainments, and inequality (to work with John Papay and the Educational Opportunity in Massachusetts team). The postdoctoral research associate will receive mentorship and training from a faculty sponsor, primarily through an active research apprenticeship and collaboration. In addition, they will be part of our robust postdoctoral cohort, and the broader AIB community including faculty, research staff, and students at Brown University.
