Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Language and Literacy with Special Populations

[Mary Ann Romski]

Two-Year Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Language and Literacy with Special Populations The Center for Research on Atypical Development and Learning (CRADL), in coordination with the Department of Psychology and the Department of Educational Psychology & Special Education, at Georgia State University, Atlanta, have a postdoctoral position available for Fall 2011 in their Institute of Education Sciences (IES) Post-Doctoral Research Training in Language and Literacy with Special Populations Program.   
 
The goal of the training program is to offer individualized research experiences within the context of interdisciplinary research teams. Program faculty members have projects designed to empirically validate educational interventions that promote language or literacy development in special populations: children, adolescents, and adults at risk for, or with, identified disabilities.  Faculty members represent the disciplines of psychology, special education, and communication disorders.  The two-year fellowship will provide the trainee with intensive training in designing field-based intervention research with special populations (both group and single-subject designs), analysis of existing data bases using advanced statistical techniques (e.g., HLM), and in professional development, including grant writing, and professional presentations and publication.  The fellow will NOT serve as a project director and will have the opportunity to pursue their own research interests within the context of the ongoing research projects. 
 
Detailed information about program faculty and their research projects is available at the Center for Research in Atypical Development webpage http://www2.gsu.edu/~wwwaty/ies.html  
Recent Ph.Ds from special education, communication disorders, language and literacy education, psychology, and other related fields are encouraged to apply. Salary, set by IES guidelines, is $50,000 a year with full health benefits. Provisions of the training program limit funding to US citizens and permanent residents.
