Physical Demands

There are few physical demands. The prolonged or near -continuous use of a computer display/terminal is the primary physical demand of the position. The employee will also be required to travel to several other universities to collect data, so the employee will need to be able to undergo the physical conditions of travel by plane and car.

Job Summary

We seek applications for a postdoctoral researcher to work on a three-year, NSF-funded mixed methods study investigating undergraduate geology students' scientific fieldwork experiences and the role those experiences have on academic and career decisions. The representation of women in the earth, atmospheric, and ocean sciences workforce is significantly lower than that of female undergraduate students majoring in these disciplines; therefore, the study will examine how and why female and male undergraduate students who engage in science fieldwork pursue science careers. The postdoctoral research associate will work with a highly collaborative team. The primary responsibilities include:
a. Collect and analyze qualitative data related to student and faculty experiences in science field courses
b. Serve as data manager for qualitative and quantitative components of the project
c. Serve as project manager to oversee logistical aspects of the project
d. Present and publish findings from the study
e. Attend project meetings
