Subject: [COGDEVSOC] Post-doctoral Program in Mathematical Thinking,
Learning & Instruction
To: cogdevsoc@virginia.edu
Dear Colleagues,
We are recruiting several post-doc positions for a training grant in
mathematical thinking, learning, and instruction. The program is designed
both for people with psychology/cognitive science backgrounds who want to
learn more about mathematics education, and for people with math ed
backgrounds who want to learn more about psych/cog sci theory and methods.

IES POST-DOCTORAL TRAINING GRANT
MATHEMATICAL THINKING, LEARNING, AND INSTRUCTION
WISCONSIN CENTER FOR EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH • UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON
OUR VISION
There is a clear and recognized need for well-trained mathematics education
researchers who are able to conduct scientifically based qualitative and
quantitative research that addresses immediate and long-term questions
about the efficacy of educational programs and policies, and who can
provide an empirical basis for future designs of curricula, assessments,
instruction, and learning environments. With funding from the US Department
of Education's Institute of Education Sciences (IES), we now offer a
two-year interdisciplinary, postdoctoral training program, situated at the
University of Wisconsin– Madison, which aims to increase postdoctoral
capacity to conduct rigorous research in the topic area of mathematics
education. The program provides recent graduates opportunities to
experience a range of methods, including graduates from curriculum &
instruction departments seeking to learn quantitative methods that support
causal inference, as well as psychologists and other social scientists
seeking to conduct studies in natural settings and collect, analyze, and
interpret process-level data. The training program emphasizes the
interdisciplinary nature of the mathematics education research
opportunities at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. It addresses broad
research interests, including: Exploratory research, basic processes in
learning and instruction, development and innovation, efficacy and
replication, and measurement.
PROGRAM DETAILS
We frame the postdoctoral experience in terms of project-based learning by
anchoring the training in ongoing, funded research on mathematics
education. The program also offers our postdoctoral fellows individualized
experiences created in collaboration with a mentoring committee including:
research methods courses, campus colloquia, and independent research and
supervised grant writing projects designed to match the needs of individual
participants. The training grant Mentoring Team includes: Mitchell J. Nathan,
director of the postdoctoral training program, professor of educational
psychology (learning sciences) and mathematics education; Eric Knuth, professor
of mathematics education; Amy Ellis, associate professor of mathematics
education; Anita Wager, assistant professor of mathematics education; Martha
W. Alibali, professor of psychology and educational psychology (human
development and learning sciences); Charles Kalish, professor of
educational psychology (human development); and Peter Steiner, assistant
professor of mathematics education (quantitative methods).
Further details about the faculty and research opportunities are available
at our website, http://iesPostDoc.wceruw.org.
HOW TO APPLY
We are seeking to hire multiple applicants. We seek highly qualified
applicants who have earned a doctorate degree in mathematics education,
psychology, learning sciences, or related areas. The positions carry an
annual stipend plus health insurance coverage and support for professional
travel and professional development. For full consideration please have
your completed application materials submitted by January 1, 2014. Review
of applications will continue until the positions are filled. The starting
date is negotiable. Applicants must be US citizens or permanent US residents.
Please send all application materials to IESPostDoc@wcer.wisc.edu: (a) a
letter that summarizes your research experiences, areas of interest and
identifies a primary and secondary mentor from among the program faculty;
(b) curriculum vitae; and (c) two publications or manuscripts. Also arrange
for three confidential letters of reference to be sent to
IESPostDoc@wcer.wisc.edu with the applicant’s name in the subject line. If
you require further information, please contact Dr. Mitchell J. Nathan,
mnathan@wisc.edu, 608-263-0563, or Dr. Anita Wager, awager@wisc.edu,
608-263-5142.
