*Job Description*

Postdoctoral Research Fellow

JOB SUMMARY

Dr. Ido Davidesco at Boston College’s Applied Developmental and Educational
Psychology Program seeks to hire a full-time Postdoctoral Research
Associate for an NSF-funded project.

This project focuses on the role of internal attention in undergraduate
science learning. Currently, very little is known about how opportunities
to focus attention internally (e.g., asking students to quietly think about
a problem as part of a “think-pair-share”) impact student learning. This
project manipulates the frequency and duration of “thinking” periods during
a lecture and examines the impact on students’ conceptual understanding of
science concepts. This research also explores and validate neural
indicators of attention, measured with electroencephalography (EEG) and
eye-tracking. Finally, the project team is developing an innovative
Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience, where students investigate
their own attentional states and associated gaze/brain activity.

The interdisciplinary nature of this project will produce a unique setting
for the professional development of the postdoctoral research associate.
The combined exposure to cognitive neuroscience and education research will
provide the postdoc with a unique mentoring experience and excellent
preparation for their future career.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Postdoctoral Research Associate will be involved in all aspects of the
project, including study design, data collection, data analysis, and
development of conference presentations and manuscripts.

FTE Range $65,000 - $74,665 based on experience
