Postdoctoral Fellowship

Dr. Roberta M. Golinkoff

UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE

School of Education

Newark, Delaware

We are currently accepting applications for a post-doctoral fellowship on an NIH-funded project focusing on preschoolers’ knowledge of geometric shapes. The project examines the relationship between what children know about shapes and their mathematical knowledge upon school entry. Ideally, the applicant would be an expert in the area of early mathematical or spatial development and have an interest in cognitive development. Applicants would be expected to have strong research training, extensive statistical experience, and a Ph.D. in developmental psychology or a closely related area. Experience in using an eye-tracker would be welcomed, and excellent writing skills are a must. Funding is available for one year with full, excellent benefits.

Responsibilities: Data analysis, writing up results for presentation and publication, literature reviews, designing and assisting in the conduct of follow-up studies, grant writing, and collaborative participation with our research team.

Materials: Please submit a CV, cover letter with statement of research interests, letters of recommendation, and evidence of scholarly publications to Andrew Filipowicz at atfilipo@udel.edu.
