We welcome candidates from a range of methodological traditions, particularly those with a strong background in quantitative methods, and employing a range of methodologies including, but not limited to, observational, experimental, design-based research, and mixed-methods approaches.

The candidate will teach courses on topics related to applied child development and research, and advice Masters and doctoral students.
