<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The Department of Cognitive Science at Carleton University (located in Ottawa, Canada) enrols approximately 600 undergraduate and 40 graduate students in B.Cog. Sc, M.Cog.Sc,
and Ph.D. degrees. The department is highly interdisciplinary, drawing from Psychology, Linguistics, Philosophy, Computer Science, and Neuroscience. Faculty and staff are collegial and enjoy collaboration. More information is available at www.carleton.ca/cognitivescience. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Research Project Overview <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The postdoctoral fellow will work closely with Dr. Jo-Anne LeFevre, Dr. Rebecca Merkley, and Dr. Heather Douglas, on several projects involving early mathematical assessment
and learning. Projects are described at www.carleton.ca/mathlab/ and www.aimcollective.ca. Half of the funding for the postdoctoral position comes from MITACS funding sponsored by Vretta Inc., an educational technology company. The collaboration is focussed
on the development, testing, and ongoing research into a digital assessment of numeracy skills for Canadian schools. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The postdoctoral fellow will help to manage a network of researchers and education partners, so knowledge of communication tools is essential. Experience in team settings
is also important. The PDF will be based in Ottawa but may be required to travel within Canada for certain activities. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
