The Robert Frederick Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE) is seeking a highly motivated and talented individual to join our NSF-sponsored Revolutionizing Engineering Department (RED) grant team as a Postdoctoral Associate in Engineering Education Research. This position is part of an exciting project aimed at enabling and examining a cultural shift within the School toward a “living laboratory” ecosystem. A living laboratory ecosystem is a culture that values and rewards students, faculty, and staff for asking new questions, testing innovative approaches, embracing failure as a learning opportunity, and continuously enhancing our knowledge and methods to tackle local, national, and global challenges.
The postdoctoral associate will work directly with both Professor Allison Godwin, a tenured engineering education faculty member in CBE, and Professor Alexandra Coso Strong, a tenured engineering education faculty member in CBE and the Systems Engineering Program. The lived experiences engaging in this change effort and the impacts of the change will be studied using both qualitative and quantitative methods to understand how change occurs and provide an evidence-based model for implementing similar changes more broadly. The position target start date is no later than June 1, 2026 with preference for a candidate who can start in Fall 2025 or Spring 2026.
