Dartmouth Society of Fellows Postdoctoral Fellowships These fellowships foster the academic careers of scholars who have recently received their Ph.D. degrees, by permitting them to pursue their research while gaining mentored experience as teachers and members of the departments and/or programs in which they are housed. The program also benefits Dartmouth by complementing existing curricula with underrepresented fields. Postdoctoral Fellows are individuals at the early stages of their careers who demonstrate exceptional promise as scholar-teachers. There are two categories of Postdoctoral Fellows: Society Fellows and Affiliate Fellows. Society Fellows are appointed by the Dean of the Faculty, following a competitive process. Society Fellows are expected to pursue their research, teach one course annually, and contribute to the Society's programs (monthly colloquia, dinners, visiting lectures, etc.). Affiliate Fellows are interdisciplinary postdoctoral fellows appointed by other institutions on campus. Mellon Fellows appointed through the Leslie Center<http://www.dartmouth.edu/~lhc/fellowships/mellonfellowships.html>, International Relations Fellows appointed through the Dickey Center<https://dickey.dartmouth.edu/security/international-security-and-us-foreign…>, and Neukom Fellows<http://neukom.dartmouth.edu/programs/neukom_fellows_at_dc_14.html> are invited to join the Society as Affiliate Fellows.

Quantitative Methods Search - Harvard Graduate School of Education

by Matteson, Jessica

Faculty Positions in Quantitative Methods The Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) invites applications for two faculty positions in Quantitative Methods, at the rank of Assistant Professor of Education, Associate Professor of Education (untenured), or Professor of Education (tenured), depending on qualifications and experience. We are seeking candidates who are trained to a high level in quantitative methods and who have a thorough understanding of the theoretical and statistical underpinnings of those methods. Candidates must also have a clear focus on the application of methods to important practical problems in education. We particularly welcome applicants with a specialization in multilevel modeling, longitudinal modeling, structural equation modeling, or measurement, but we are interested in a broad range of methodological specialties and welcome applications from candidates with specializations other than these. We seek candidates enthusiastic about teaching and mentoring a diverse body of graduate students at the doctoral and master’s levels, primarily from HGSE, but also from departments and schools across Harvard University. We expect our quantitative methods faculty to teach both advanced and introductory classes. We therefore seek applicants with excellent pedagogical skills, including the ability to clearly communicate sophisticated methods to heterogeneous audiences and to tie these explanations to substantive examples. Candidates should have a doctorate in a relevant field, such as statistics, sociology, or education. Candidates completing their doctoral studies will be considered if they will complete all requirements for the doctorate by the start of the 2015-16 academic year. Successful candidates will have an excellent record of rigorous scholarship and a commitment to teaching and mentoring. The search committee will begin reviewing applications on October 15th, 2014 and continue until the position(s) are filled. To apply, please go to http://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/5586. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Academic Affairs at academic(a)gse.harvard.edu or 617-495-3957. We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
