Purdue’s Evaluation and Learning Research Center (ELRC) is looking to hire
an energetic postdoctoral research associate to join our team. The ELRC,
housed in the College of Education, is a nationally and internationally
recognized leader in education research and evaluation. Known by federal
agencies for conducting rigorous research and evaluation, the ELRC
maintains of portfolio of 20 active projects, adds credibility and value to
over 40 proposals each year, and consults with faculty across the Purdue
University campus and beyond on a host of nascent stage projects. ELRC
evaluation expertise is often a win differentiator for competitive
proposals; and scholarship driven by ELRC professionals propels Purdue into
the national conversation surrounding evidence-based education reform. The
ELRC is seen as a national model for effective research and evaluation
focused on education and organizational development. A research center in
its own right, the ELRC provides assessment and evaluation services in
support of other Centers and Units on campus, as well as external
evaluation for nonPurdue projects. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will
work with ELRC staff to: 1) collaborate with current and potential partners
to design, execute and communicate comprehensive, contextually appropriate
and, culturally responsive evaluations of learning-related projects; and 2)

related to the center’s mission, goals and work. The successful candidate

methods and theories

quantitative and/or qualitative evaluation and research methods

·            Be able to creatively adapt and apply existing knowledge and

collegial team member

domain

·            Have some familiarity with government and foundation funding
agencies and experience crafting research or evaluation proposals

·            Possess curiosity, interest in continued learning, and
self-motivation

The ELRC encourages a collaborative environment and is the home of a
dynamic team of professional staff and graduate students. The postdoctoral
research associate will be supported and mentored by ELRC staff to create a
professional development plan that supports their personal and professional
development.
