Position Announcement
The Crane Center for Early Childhood Research and Policy (CCEC) in the
College of Education and Human Ecology at The Ohio State University
seeks two (2) full time postdoctoral fellows to participate in its
Institute of Education Sciences postdoctoral training program, funded
by the U.S. Department of Education. Two appointments will begin in
Summer 2014. These are two-year positions and offer collaborative and
independent research opportunities. Fellows will receive rigorous,
interdisciplinary postdoctoral training on designing and testing
language and literacy practices for improving young children’s
educational outcomes, closely aligned to two IES topic areas (Reading
and Writing, Early Learning Programs and Policies), and learn the
academic, research/technical, and practical skills necessary for
scholarly success. Specific research projects will be based upon the
joint interests of the fellow and the CCEC faculty mentor(s).
The CCEC is a research laboratory dedicated to conducting high-quality
empirical research on child development and early education, with a
focus on research questions for which answers will make direct and
immediate contributions to educational and clinical practices for
children and their families. The CCEC brings together a
multi-disciplinary research team, including individuals with expertise
in speech-language pathology, psychology, reading, special education,
elementary education, curriculum and intervention design, and
statistics/quantitative methods. The team includes Dr. Laura Justice,
Dr. Shayne Piasta, and Dr. Ann A. O’Connell, who will serve as primary
mentors for postdoctoral fellows. Applicants are encouraged to view
information concerning CCEC investigators, projects, training, and
requirements on the CCEC
website (ccec.ehe.osu.edu) and to speak with CCEC investigators to
learn more about this opportunity. Inquiries may be sent to the CCEC
Postdoctoral Training Coordinator, Elaine Joy, at
ccecpostdocinfo@osu.edu.
The appointments will begin in July-August, 2014. Applicants must have
graduated with their doctoral degree prior to that date. All qualified
U.S. citizens and permanent residents with degrees in relevant
disciplines (e.g., education, psychology,
speech-hearing/communication, quantitative research methods) will be
considered. Salary is set by IES at $52,500 annually plus benefits.
Additionally, each fellow will receive an annual research and travel
allowance of $7,000.
