Dear colleagues,

We are looking for a post-doctoral research fellow to join our research
group at Southern Methodist University. Please forward through your
networks. We’re specifically looking for someone with expertise in
statistics.

The Research in Mathematics Education (smu.edu/rme) unit at Southern
Methodist University seeks a full-time postdoctoral research associate to
conduct research related to Tier 2 mathematics interventions implemented
with students experiencing mathematics difficulty (MD). The successful
candidate will join an interdisciplinary team of education researchers and
practitioners. They will play a key role in studying student and
interventionist interactions with a Tier 2 fraction intervention and the
outcomes of participating in the intervention program. The available data
covers multiple clustered randomized controlled trials with elementary and
middle school students and multiple outcome measures related to mathematics
and motivation. Examples of targeted areas for scholarship include
mathematics education, Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), development
of intervention programs, and measurement and assessment.

The postdoctoral researcher will have opportunities to collaborate with
faculty, graduate students, and project staff from all project sites
(Southern Methodist University, University of Texas at Austin, University
of Missouri, and American Institutes for Research). The postdoctoral
researcher will be expected to develop and lead their own complementary
research activities aligned with the scope of the research unit.

The postdoctoral research associate will have expertise in education,
mathematics, statistics and/or psychometrics. Applicants must demonstrate
promise for a tenure-track appointment at a research college or university.
