Three Postdoctoral Fellowships in STEM Education - Florida International University

We have now officially begun to search for candidates for an innovative NSF postdoctoral fellowship focusing on STEM education at the STEM Transformation Institute in Florida International University. Candidates must have received a doctoral degree in a STEM field or similar no earlier than Fall 2022 and must be interested in conducting STEM education research with a focus on collaboration and interdisciplinarity, but they do not need to have prior STEM education experience. We intend to prioritize candidates who will apply for faculty positions at MSIs in the future. The target start date is August 1, 2024, but there is some flexibility. We really appreciate your help disseminating this exciting opportunity!  Please share with anyone you know that might be interested to apply.

Postdoctoral Fellowships in STEM Education  

STEM Transformation Institute | Florida International University 

 

Florida International University (FIU) is recruiting a cohort of three postdoctoral fellows to conduct research alongside experts at the STEM Transformation Institute in Miami, Florida. The successful candidates will form a cohort of three postdoctoral fellows who will engage in innovative research in STEM education, emphasizing collaboration and interdisciplinarity. Fellows will receive holistic support to conduct research and develop professionally towards their individual career goals. Fellows will participate in cohort activities including 1) building their research portfolio by conducting independent original research and collaborating with existing nationally prominent projects, 2) engaging in a collaborative inquiry project to understand postdoctoral support systems across disciplines, 3) participating in individualized professional development support, and 4) receiving multidisciplinary mentoring from an intentionally chosen constellation of mentors. STEM Education research experience is not a requirement for application and the project is particularly interested in applicants who intend to work at an MSI in the future.  

 

Postdoctoral research associates will receive a salary of $70,000 each year in addition to a competitive benefits package. This is a 12-month full-time, in-person position lasting two years. Additional benefits include up to $6,000 in support for travel to conferences, access to hiring undergraduate research assistants, and funds for publication costs. The target start date is August 1, 2024 but there is some flexibility. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, nationals or permanent residents (DACA recipients do not qualify), have earned a STEM or related degree no more than 24 months before the start of the appointment, and must not hold a tenure-track position.
