University of Virginia Post-doctoral Interdisciplinary Training Program in the Education Sciences<br>
<br>
The UVA Curry School of Education received an award from the U.S. Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences to hire two post-doctoral trainees as part of the Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in the Education Sciences beginning July 2010.<br>
<br>
Trainees hired in 2010 will become part of a network of post-doctoral trainees at the Curry School of Education in research centers including the Center for the Advanced Study of Teaching and Learning, the Curry School Center for Positive Youth Development, the University of Virginia Center on Education Policy and Workforce Competitiveness, and research initiatives on effective teaching in higher education and STEM education, as well as trainees supported by independent grants.<br>
Fellows' training includes two main components: strong mentoring with a senior investigator focused on the demanding and technical aspects of producing high quality scholarship (theory, design, use of rigorous methods, writing, etc.) and immersion in an intellectually challenging and scientifically rigorous community of scholarship. Fellows will build a research program by formulating research questions, generating research designs, writing grants, conducting analyses, writing and presenting findings. Experiences will include intense mentorship with a senior investigator; engagement in work-in-progress meetings with faculty, other post-docs and students; involvement in specialized training institutes; structured self-evaluation; conversation with other UVa faculty; and involvement in a speaker series, among other opportunities.<br>
<br>
Two Fellowship positions are available beginning 7/1/2010, working with either Sara Rimm-Kaufman or Bob Pianta as a primary mentor - please see below for more information about their research projects.<br>
