  • The Lane Fellow

    Carnegie Mellon University 4.5company rating

    Fellow job in Pittsburgh, PA

    The Lane Fellow Program recognizes and supports scientists of outstanding intellect who are dedicated to a career at the interface of computational and biological sciences so that they can pursue postdoctoral research in the rich computational environment at Carnegie Mellon. It is named in honor of Ray and Stephanie Lane, whose generous donation enabled the creation of the original Lane Center for Computational Biology, the forerunner of the Computational Biology Department. Absent special circumstances, applicants must have received their doctoral degree after August 1, 2023 or be expected to receive their degree by August 1, 2024. Candidates who have done prior Ph.D. or postdoctoral work at Carnegie Mellon are not normally considered. Applications received by March 1, 2024 will receive full consideration, but those received at other times may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Candidates should submit their Curriculum Vitae; a statement of research that describes the significance of their past work, their qualifications for interdisciplinary work, and their future interests and career goals; and the names and email addresses of two or more individuals whom the applicant has asked to provide letters of reference (it is the responsibility of the candidate to ensure that the letters are sent). All materials should be submitted here (%***********************************) . After initial review, some applicants will be chosen as finalists and invited to interview in person or via telephone. As part of this process, finalists will be responsible for identifying a Computational Biology faculty member who is willing to serve as their research advisor. Over the course of their fellowship, fellows are expected and encouraged to transition to independence by developing their own research program to take with them when they become independent investigators. Lane Fellows will be selected for a three-year appointment beginning approximately August 1, 2024. They will receive a stipend of $65,000, benefits including medical, dental, vision and life insurance, and a professional support allocation of $3,000 to cover items such as purchase of a laptop computer, travel to conferences, membership in relevant professional societies, and journal subscriptions. **Equal Employment Opportunity Statement** **Carnegie Mellon University** is an equal opportunity employer. It does not discriminate in admission, employment, or administration of its programs or activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy or related condition, family status, marital status, parental status, religion, ancestry, veteran status, or genetic information.

    The PLUS - Personalized Learning Squared (******************* project, run by the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University aims to double the rate of math learning in middle school students, particularly those who have been historically underserved. This project is operated in collaboration with Carnegie Learning and Stanford University and is led by Principal Investigator Prof. Ken Koedinger and Research Lead Dr. Danielle Thomas. PLUS features a hybrid tutoring platform that combines human and AI tutoring to deliver personalized learning for each student. The National Tutoring Observatory (***************************************** , is a research infrastructure led by Prof. Rene Kizilcec at Cornell University, along with researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and educational strategy company FreshCognate. The mission of the National Tutoring Observatory is to observe and record great teachers and tutors at work in one-on-one and small group interactions with learners. By partnering with a range of tutoring providers, we will create the world's largest repository of video and transcript data about tutoring interactions and the incredibly important work of teachers. The Observatory aspires to create a Million Tutor Moves dataset that records at least one million interactions between teachers and students.

    We are looking for a postdoc who will work under the guidance of Prof. Vincent Aleven in the HCI Institute, with additional guidance provided by Dr. Steve Ritter at Carnegie Learning Inc., a Pittsburgh-based company. The postdoc will work on an IES-funded project: Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Carnegie Learning, Inc. will team up to address challenges teachers face in the context of mathematics learning in blended middle school classes that use intelligent tutoring software (ITS). Although well-designed analytics-based teacher support tools promise to support teachers in running personalized K-12 classrooms, there is very little scientific knowledge regarding how this kind of tool affects teachers and students - nor how tools could provide not only awareness support to teachers (informing the teacher about students' progress and struggles) but also decision support (making suggestions for whom to help and how), with potentially even greater impact. The researchers will design an analytics-based mixed-reality teacher support tool ("teacher smart glasses") through co-design sessions with teachers and students, hone the tool through prototyping, test it through classroom pilotring, and conduct classroom studies to rigorously evaluate effects on teachers and students of the took and of key tool features (namely, real-time awareness support and decision support for teachers). The project will produce a new teacher orchestration tool, Lumilo 2, running on mixed-reality devices (smart glasses) so teachers can keep their eye on the class. The project will produce new scientific insight into how real-time analytics-based tools affect teacher help and, in turn, student learning. The project may lead to a more personalized K-12 math classroom. **Qualifications** Minimum qualifications: PhD in learning technologies, human-computer interaction or a related field. Experience in implementing educational technology and conducting educational technology research. Preferred classifications: Experience with K-12 classroom research.
