The University of California, Irvine is seeking a diverse group of scholars for four tenure track positions: 1 in Education; 2 in Sociology; and 1 in Cognitive Science.
This an ambitious effort to recruit faculty through the UCI High Impact Hire Initiative, which seeks to bring together clusters of faculty in research areas that are critical to the needs of the university and nation. They are recruiting faculty in education, psychology, cognitive science, sociology, and related disciplines who will work together to address a significant societal challenge: Creating opportunity for children living in poverty through effective educational interventions. Faculty hired in the Creating Opportunities cluster will work on innovative, research-based approaches to transforming the classroom learning experiences of low-income children with a focus on programs and interventions that may include the use of technology and will be targeted to support gains in foundational literacy and mathematical skills in pre-school and early elementary grades – the time when children’s achievement gains are the largest.
The review process began on October 9, 2016, but screening will continue until the position is filled.
