Post-Doctoral Positions in Language and Literacy, New York University,
Steinhardt School


The NYU research program in language and literacy seeks to hire a
post-doctoral fellow under the direction of Professor Susan Neuman in the
Department of Teaching and Learning.  The position will begin in
late-August, early September, 2017-August, 2018. The post-doctoral fellow
will take leading roles in designing and conducting experimental work on
early language and literacy development in low-income populations.  The
post-doctoral fellow will play a major role in an IES project designed to
examine educational media supports for low-income children, ages 4-5 years
old.  The focus of the grant is to understand the pedagogical supports that
enhance children’s learning of vocabulary and comprehension.


The post-doctoral fellows will be expected to participate fully in the
design, implementation and analysis of data in the study and provide
mentorship to graduate students in the data collection process. The
candidate must have a Ph.D. or Ed.D. in psychology or education (or a
related field) and substantive knowledge and background in education
sciences, particularly in the areas of early childhood and early literacy
development.  The candidate should also have strong quantitative research
and writing-for-publication skills.

Candidates will be considered based upon demonstrated research skills,
potential for impact, and match to the interests of the research program.
The appointment will begin September 2016 for an initial period of one
year; positions are eligible for renewal.  Salary and benefits are
competitive.


Review of materials will begin immediately and will continue until the
position is filled.  Candidates should submit:

   - Curriculum vitae
   - Two letters of recommendation
   - Samples of written work
   - Research statement describing your training and research interests,
   including why your background and interests are a match for this position

Please send questions and applications to Susan Neuman at sbneuman@nyu.edu
