Postdoc in Educational sciences and (language) teacher development, with a focus on classroom interaction and participation
Employment Information
Employment: Temporary employment, 2 years
Scope: Full time
Closing date for application: 2023-03-31
Campus location: Västeras
School: School of Education, Culture and Communication, (UKK)
Position description
We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow who will join the Mälardalen INteraction and Didactics (MIND) Research group as part of the project “Fostering student participation in classrooms: Digitally-enhanced teacher reflection and feedback in education”. The post-doctoral researcher will focus on the interactional aspects of classroom participation and engagement, and explore- from micro-analytic, multimodal, and reflective perspectives- the ways digital tools encourage transformative reflections.
The researcher is expected to be involved in collection and analysis of audio-visual data from classroom settings, while also attending and taking active part in organizing regular activities of the research group, including data sessions, research seminars, and workshops.
The researcher will be expected to (1) transcribe and analyse pedagogical interaction data using (multimodal) conversation analysis, (2) annotate audio-visual data from reflection sessions, and (3) carry out thematic/content analysis of stimulated recall data and interviews. The post-doctoral researcher will be expected to work with the research group members in reporting research findings in international peer-reviewed publications and collaborate with the members of the group in disseminating research findings (e.g. presenting in and organizing research conferences/symposia as well as events for teachers).
The position is a temporary employment of 2-3 years.
Qualifications requirements
The applicant is required to have a PhD degree in educational sciences, applied language studies (e.g., applied linguistics, educational linguistics, (second) language education, TESOL) or related fields, with a focus on interactional aspects of learning and teaching, or discursive practices in institutional interaction in its broad sense. The applicant is also expected to be very proficient in English language, both in speech and writing. The applicant must have completed the degree no more than three years before the end of the application period.
The candidate should be able to demonstrate skills and expertise in using discursive methodologies, preferably (multimodal) conversation analysis, for analyzing interactions where learning is mediated, including, but not limited to, classrooms. The researcher should have in-depth knowledge and experience in the analysis of discursive data, demonstrated through published work and other academic activities. Experience in publishing research in international journals will be important in the decision. Personal qualities required include willingness to collaborate and (demonstrated) skills in collaboration; good communication skills; and the ability to take research initiatives and work independently.
Decisive importance is attached to personal suitability. We value the qualities that an even distribution of age and gender, as well as ethnic and cultural diversity, can contribute to the organisation.
Merit
In addition to the requirements listed above, the candidates who have knowledge and skills in analyzing classroom interaction may have an additional advantage. Furthermore, experience in the use of other discursive methodologies and analysis software are meriterous. Having taken part in data sessions, experience and skills in dealing with corpora, as well as video annotation tools may be advantageous.
