The position is part of a National Science Foundation funded project to investigate how informal programs can broaden participation by building social capital in STEM for youth from underrepresented groups.

Research will include fieldwork in informal learning programs in Orange County and possibly Los Angeles County; management and analysis of quantitative and qualitative datasets; writing of reports, articles, and presentations; translating research for broader audiences through blogs and reports; supervising undergraduate and graduate student researchers; and overseeing the submission and updating of human subjects protocols. Research, design, and writing will be conducted as part of a collaborative team effort with the principal investigator and others involved in the Lab. The position will begin Fall 2018 or January 2019 and continue for one year, with possible renewal for two additional years dependent upon satisfactory performance and the availability of funding. Annual salary ranges from $53,184 to $57,528 depending on experience. Requirements: Candidates should have a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline or field, such as Anthropology, Sociology, or Education. Research background should include areas such as learning sciences, social inequity, social network analysis, youth studies, and informal learning. Preference will be given to applicants who have experience managing data and analyzing quantitative datasets using social network analysis. It is preferred that applicants have demonstrated success presenting and publishing journal articles. Fluency in Spanish is desirable.
