NSF Organizational Post-Doc: Post-Doctoral Research Associate

This is a Post-Doc position in which you work at Missouri State University with Prof. Johannes Strobel & Prof. Ximena Uribe-Zarain on topics of K-12 Computer Science Education.

The team at Missouri State works in collaboration with a team at University of Texas at El Paso (under the same grant). The team at UTEP is comprised of several faculty and already two hired post-docs.

This is a grant-funded position with a current limit of 1 year and 3 months and is contingent upon available funds. Each Post-Doctoral Researcher receives independent funds for research, travel, and professional development.

The scholar will work on projects that aim to advance knowledge, practice, and policy at the intersection of K-12 computer science education and research practice partnerships that serve minoritized diferente communities. The overarching goal of the appointment is to strengthen capacity (i.e., knowledge, skills, practices, literacies) among recent education doctoral graduates whose scholarship engages with Computer Science (CS) and other STEM disciplines among learner groups traditionally marginalized in STEM+ C fields (e.g., predominantly Hispanic-serving K-12 environments).
The scholar will participate in ariends co-generative mentorship model that will involve participation in existing K-12 social science research projects-with the goal of additionally developing and implementing independent research programs in related fields within their time as post-doctoral researchers. The scholar will be co-mentored by project investigators (i.e., PI/Co-PIs/Senior Personnel) who will provide apprenticeship in: designing and enacting research projects, competitively pursuing extramural funding to support research, and mentoring students.
