The Institute for Educational Evaluation at the University of Zurich is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher in statistical and/or computational methods for modeling intensive longitudinal educational and/or developmental data. The initial appointment (80-100% of full time equivalent) will be two years with the option of renewal for a third year and the possibility of promotion into a tenured contract. The position primarily involves work in the methodological research project “Modeling Developmental Trajectories with Intensive Longitudinal Data from Large-Scale Formative Assessments” funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (PI: Prof. Dr. Martin Tomasik). It is a full research position with no teaching obligations. Your Responsibilities The successful candidate will collaborate in a team comprising another post-doctoral researcher, a technical research assistant, and up to two doctoral students. Against the backdrop of intensive longitudinal data from a computer-based tool for formative student assessment (see Tomasik, Berger & Moser, 2019, in Frontiers of Education ), the successful candidate will apply and develop methods for modelling intraindividual learning trajectories across different subject domains, investigate patterns of heterogeneity in these trajectories, study the longitudinal dynamics between concepts and content domains, and investigate contextual factors predicting learning trajectories. A significant portion of the working time will be devoted to prepare the results of this modelling for publication in scientific journals and presentation at international conferences. The successful candidate will also be involved in mentoring the doctoral students, organizing methodological workshops, and support the team in programming tasks related to the development and the maintenance of the computer-based tool. Your Qualification Requirements Qualified candidates should be self-driven and highly motivated individuals with an established track record, including first-author publications in top-tier international journals. They should have a very strong statistical and/or computational background in order to successfully develop and evaluate methods in the context of time-series analysis, dynamic structural equation modelling, growth mixture modelling, higher-order graph modelling, time-varying effect modelling and/or other related methods capable of separating between-person and within-person variance in order to study interindividual differences in intraindividual change. A solid knowledge of item response theory, good command of machine learning approaches, and advanced programming skills (e.g., Python, C/C++, MATLAB, Perl) is a strong advantage. The successful candidate should have obtained a doctoral degree in mathematics, statistics, computer science, psychometrics, developmental measurement or educational measurement no longer than seven years ago and bring along some experience – or at least strong interest – in developmental and/or educational research. A good command of English and/or German (as the working languages in the project) is mandatory, familiarity with any of the other national languages (i.e., French and Italian) could be helpful.  Our Offer We offer great working conditions on a unique data set ( N ≈ 100.000) and the opportunity to significantly expand one’s publication record. This interdisciplinary research project is conducted in collaboration with leaders in the field of machine learning, signal processing theory, computational social science, and data analytics. The University of Zurich provides great opportunities for networking within and beyond the Digital Society Initiative (see https://www.dsi.uzh.ch/). The Institute offers an attractive salary plus a very generous social benefits package, five weeks of paid vacation per year, flexible working hours as well as a highly motivated and supportive team of scientific and non-scientific personnel. Application Procedure To apply for this position, please submit in one single PDF file (1) a cover letter describing your past training and your future research goals, highlighting why your background and interests are a good match for the position, (2) a one-page curriculum vitae, (3) a full list of publications, (4) a copy of the doctoral certificate, and (5) three writing samples (i.e., papers published or accepted for publication) to Prof. Dr. Martin Tomasik (martin.tomasik@ibe.uzh.ch).
