Postdoctoral Research Scholar,  Arizona State University, Department of Psychology  The Department of Psychology at Arizona State University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scholar to join the Quantitative Psychology area under the supervision of Dr. Daniel McNeish.   Project Description   The position is to work on a grant-funded project related to dynamic fit index (DFI) cutoffs for assessing model in fit latent variable models. Traditional fit index cutoffs (e.g., RMSEA < .06, CFI > .95) have been found to generalize poorly to models with different characteristics, so the goal of the project is to continue developing DFI cutoffs to provide researchers with accessible tools that produce customized cutoffs based on the user’s fitted model.  The DFI method has been worked out for confirmatory factor analysis with continuous outcomes and the grant aims to extend the idea to a broader range of models and outcome types (e.g., categorical items,...

The full-time postdoctoral fellow will participate in the coordination of a large-scale community-engaged project titled the “ The Northwestern-Evanston Education Research Alliance (NEERA): Designing for Equity and Excellence in Education ”. The project aims to deepen a research-practice partnership promoting racial and socioeconomic equity across schools in a diverse K-12 school district through a variety of coordinated initiatives. These initiatives are developed by a collaborative team of invested researchers and educational practitioners. NEERA uses diverse methodologies (e.g., experimental quantitative methods, semi-structured interviewing) to investigate how educators and broader learning environments can best support the well-being, identity development, and academic outcomes of students from historically marginalized backgrounds. The postdoctoral fellow will support coordination of all aspects of the project—including participating in study design and data collection,...

The Department of Psychology at Western University invites applications from exceptional researchers to fill two academic faculty positions in the area of social psychological sciences, broadly defined (including clinical psychology, developmental psychology, or basic or applied social psychology).
