One postdoctoral position is available in the Digital Media & Learning

findings and working collaboratively with principle investigators and

research. Evidence of collaborative and mixed methods research will also be
valued. Travel may be required in this position to perform research and
meet with collaborators.



Position is dependent on extramural funding.  Initial appointment is for
