>>===============================================================
>>OPENING FOR A POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER IN LANGUAGE AND LITERACY
>>NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, SCHOOL OF EDUCATION AND SOCIAL POLICY
>>===============================================================
>>
>>Postdoctoral Researcher
>>
>>The School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern
>>University has an opening for the position of postdoctoral
>>researcher with expertise in language and literacy as sociocultural
>>practices, to work on two inter-related research projects.  One
>>project  examines the kinds of strategies that Spanish-English
>>bilingual children deploy when translating for monolingual speakers
>>in their lives outside of school, and the kinds of strategies that
>>they use for literacy tasks in school.  The second project looks at
>>how students deal with the literacy demands of a progressive
>>science curriculum, and how to support children in dealing with
>>those demands.  The postdoctoral researcher will work with a
>>research team to assist with home and school observations,
>>interviews and focus groups, data analysis, writing, and research
>>presentations.
>>
>>Candidates should have a Ph.D. in education, linguistics,
>>sociology, anthropology or a related field, as well as experience
>>doing qualitative research. Fluency in Spanish and experience
>>working in Latino immigrant communities is highly desired. The
>>position is full-time for two years, with the possibility of
>>renewal for a third year.  Candidates without a Ph.D. will be
>>considered.
>>
>>EEO/AA Employer. Employment eligibility verification required upon hire.
>>
>>Interested applicants should submit a letter of interest and a
>>curriculum vita to Marjorie Faulstich Orellana by email
>>(m-orellana at northwestern.edu) or fax to 847-491-8999.
