The Teachers as Researchers group from CRI (INSERM U1284) is hiring a
2-year post-doc. Start date: June - Sept 2020.
We are looking for a highly motivated post-doctoral fellow to work on a
multi-disciplinary project aiming at developing and evaluating methods to
accompany a community of teachers to collaboratively reflect on their
practices and analyze them.
The candidate should have a PhD as well as at least one peer-reviewed
publication as main author in either of the following disciplines:
education, neuroscience, psychology, computer science, natural sciences,
economics, or a different discipline which would allow him/her to
contribute to projects related to:
-
Citizen science: invite any teacher to become a researcher for the
educational sciences, and consider his.her classroom as a research lab for
conducting daily experiments.
- Action Research: maximize teachers' reflexivity taking into account
their specific context: constant observation and action
- Evidence-based research: Assist teachers to identify "what works"
and "what
doesn't work" in their classroom based on evidence; evaluate whether
accompanying teachers as researchers has an impact on teachers' and
students' learning
- Cognitive and educational psychology: Accompany teachers to create
suitable tools to understand their students' learning and behaviors;
understand and measure teachers' reflexivity and learning throughout their
research
- Natural Language Processing: automatically analyze and aggregate
teachers' narratives and reports of "teaching research"
-
Institutional design and educational policy: study how teachers'
reflexive process can be developed on national/international scale as a
method for teachers’ professional development
