Irvine, California, United States University Of California Irvine Full time
Job Overview

The University of California, Irvine is seeking a highly qualified Postdoctoral Scholar to join our team in the School of Education. The successful candidate will work on a NICHD-funded research project aimed at understanding the impacts of state early childhood policy investments on child, family, and societal well-being.

Project Overview

The postdoctoral scholar will work directly under the supervision of Jade Jenkins at UCI, as well as the project Co-PIs, Tyler Watts (Teachers College, Columbia University) and Ken Dodge (Duke University). The project will examine whether variations in public pre-k investments by the 50 states across the past two decades are associated with better child health, stronger academic achievement, and key family outcomes. The scholar will lead the assembly of a state-by-year national dataset that integrates pre-k funding levels, pre-k program features, state policies, and child and family outcomes. The scholar will execute analyses and author manuscripts related to early childhood policy. The project aims to understand: (1) whether state-level investments in public pre-k over the past 20 years impact child and family outcomes, (2) whether pre-k investments promote equity in child and family well-being across race, ethnic, and income groups, and (3) which features of state pre-k programs are associated with differential impacts of state preschool investments. The scholar will also be expected to mentor graduate students and present work at annual consortium meetings and relevant academic conferences.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in any discipline related to child development, public policy, economics, or education, conferred by start date or within 6 months of start date. The candidate should have strong skills in quantitative data management, quantitative research methods and analysis, and a record of publication related to child development, public policy, economics, or education. The University of California, Irvine is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer advancing inclusive excellence. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age, protected veteran status, or other protected categories covered by the UC anti-discrimination policy.
