About the Position
The postdoctoral scholar will join an existing research group dedicated to conducting research and proposing policy solutions aimed at improving how our nation prepares, supports and rewards the early care and education workforce to ensure young children’s optimal development. The primary responsibilities will be directly related to work on SEQUAL (Supportive Environmental Quality Underlying Adult Learning) and related workforce research projects. SEQUAL is a multi-purpose assessment tool for examining and improving environments in which early childhood teaching staff work and learn. A series of SEQUAL studies are being implemented in different communities across the United States to investigate how early childhood teachers’ work environments contribute to their well-being and support or undermine efforts to improve and sustain program quality over time. SEQUAL generates community-level data to document issues related to early educator well-being, compensation, and equity across job roles. These data can be used to inform implementation of federal policy, state and local approaches to professional development and quality improvement initiatives and financing ECE services. The postdoctoral scholar will play a primary role in the research design and implementation of the studies, will conduct and analyze original research, analyze extant SEQUAL data, and prepare material for policy reports and peer review publication. The successful candidate will work closely with the research team in all aspects of the projects and will also have the ability to work independently and lead aspects of the research; have excellent oral and written skills; and have a strong background in research design and quantitative analysis.
