POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT

We are seeking two outstanding postdoctoral fellows to participate in our
new Institute of Education Sciences (IES) postdoctoral training program,
funded by the U.S. Department of Education. Two appointments will begin in
the fall of 2013, with additional appointments in following years. These
postdoctoral fellowships present a unique opportunity to participate in a
peer-approved program designed to support the development of excellent
scholars in education research.  Fellows will receive rigorous,
interdisciplinary training in one or more of the following areas:
mathematical learning, language acquisition and literacy, learning
disabilities, and methodological approaches to the study of learning and
development.  Our postdoctoral program targets competencies in education
and cognitive science, research methods, practical knowledge, and outreach
to train the next generation of education researchers.



The program brings together a multi-disciplinary research team, including
faculty members with expertise in mathematics development and learning
disabilities, spatial learning, language and literacy, intervention design,
and quantitative methods.  The core team includes Dr. Nancy Jordan, Dr.
Roberta Michnick Golinkoff, and Dr. Henry May, who will serve as primary
mentors for the fellows, as well as other faculty in areas as diverse as
Education, Psychology, and Linguistics. Specific research projects will be
based upon the joint interests of the fellow and the faculty mentor(s).

The appointments will begin in September 2013 and are for 2 years, pending
satisfactory progress.  Applicants must possess their doctoral degree
before that date. All qualified U.S. citizens and permanent residents with
doctoral degrees in relevant disciplines (e.g., education, psychology,
human development, cognitive science, quantitative research methods) will
be considered. Salary is set by IES at $52,500 annually plus excellent
benefits.  Additionally, each fellow will receive an annual research and
travel allowance.



*To Apply:*  Applicants should send the following materials as soon as
possible to Dr. Nancy Jordan at njordan at udel.edu: (1) a letter of interest
detailing the applicant’s graduation date, research interests, and areas of
competence along with short- and long-term career goals; (2) curriculum
vitae; (3) contact information for three references; and (4) reprints,
preprints, or other scholarly writing samples.
