The Tennessee Reading Research Center (TRRC) is conducting state-level evaluations of literacy initiatives as well as federally funded research to identify effective literacy instructional practices and improve the determination of students' literacy outcomes. The projects are led by Professor and Director Dr. Deborah K. Reed and assisted by the Research Assistant Professor and Statistician Dr. Huibin Zhang. The TRRC works with a dynamic team of professional and student staff as well as external collaborators from other universities, state education agencies, and school districts.

We seek a postdoctoral fellow to support the preparation and analysis of datasets. This fellowship will provide opportunities for an early career researcher to contribute to the TRRC's goal to strengthen causal inferences while developing a range of skills in educational measurement and statistics.

Applicants should have a completed doctoral degree in education, educational measurement and statistics, or a related field. Preferred qualifications include experience working with complex datasets, expertise in statistical methods, advanced knowledge of R, and strong verbal communication and writing abilities. Fellows will be expected to produce peer-reviewed journal articles and will have opportunities to present at national conferences.

This position is a full-time, twelve-month appointment with a salary of $62,000, health/dental insurance, and other benefits. UTK strives to provide eligible employees with a comprehensive suite of benefits. For complete information about insurance, retirement, and other available benefits, visit the UT System HR Benefits website.
