- Prepare replication code, article manuscripts, conference presentations, and policy briefs related to research findings;
- Assist with implementation and evaluation of the online Canvas course plug-in (e.g., analyzing quantitative and qualitative feedback from student users, preparing manuscripts about this process for teaching-focused outlets);
- Help lead a research team of graduate and undergraduate students who will also assist Professor Conwell and the Postdoctoral Scholar with these tasks.
- Ph.D. in Sociology, Education, or a related field by appointment start date, and received no earlier than three years prior to the start date;
- Ability to work in Stata;
- Strong quantitative analysis skills, including data cleaning, linkages, and coding; regression analysis and advanced methods; familiarity with current best practices for preregistration and replication;
- Prior experience with state administrative education data and/or national secondary data common to social science research on education;
- Demonstrated ability to conduct independent and collaborative social science research;
- Willingness to mentor graduate and undergraduate research assistants.
- Prior research on the topics of high school coursetaking and test scores; higher education experiences (college attended, major, courses); and/or labor market experiences (occupation, wages), and familiarity with the types of data (e.g., IPEDS, National Student Clearinghouse) and data linkages needed to understand school-to-work pathways along these lines;
- Prior research on the topics of racial, social class, and gender inequality in education in the United States;
- Interest in higher education evaluation research.
