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

evaluation focused on education and organizational development.</span> 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
