Two year Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Language and Literacy with Special Populations

The Center for Research on Atypical Development and Learning (CRADL), in coordination with the Department of Psychology and the Department of Educational Psychology & Special Education, at Georgia State University, Atlanta, have postdoctoral positions available for 2008 in their Institute of Education Sciences (IES) Post-Doctoral Research Training in Language and Literacy with Special Populations Program.

The goal of the training program is to offer individualized research experiences within the context of interdisciplinary research teams. Program faculty members have projects designed to empirically validate educational interventions that promote language or literacy development in special populations: children, adolescents, and adults at risk for, or with, identified disabilities. Faculty members represent the disciplines of psychology, special education, and communication disorders. The two-year fellowship will provide trainees with intensive training in designing field-based intervention research with special populations (both group and single-subject designs), analysis of existing data bases using advanced statistical techniques (e.g., HLM), and in professional development, including grant writing, and professional presentations and publication. Fellows will NOT serve as project directors and will have the opportunity to pursue their own research interests within the context of the ongoing research projects.

Salary: $50,000 per year with full health care benefits.

Detailed information about program faculty and their research projects is available at the Center for Research in Atypical Development webpage http://www2.gsu.edu/~wwwaty/ies.html

Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until the positions are filled.
