University of Michigan-Ann Arbor 4.6
Ann Arbor, MI jobs
The Marsal Family School of Education at the University of Michigan invites applications for a full-time Research Investigator to work on an innovative project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The project, led by PI Jamaal Matthews (University of Michigan) and co-PI Nia Nixon (University of California, Irvine), focuses on developing and deploying Generative AI (GenAI) tools to support secondary mathematics teachers' professional learning through equity-centered coaching. The project abstract is below. The successful candidate will play a key role in advancing the project's research objectives, which include: Developing GenAI models to code mathematics instruction based on the seven dimensions of Belonging-Centered Instruction (BCI). Creating AI models capable of coding video-recorded secondary mathematics instruction for generating a strengths and improvement assessment to guide human-facilitated teacher coaching. Designing AI-driven learning modules that can suggest culturally relevant and sustaining instructional strategies (as well as point to examples of enactment) for supporting secondary mathematics teachers' professional learning and instructional improvement. This is a two-year appointment, with the option for a third year renewal, anticipated to start in summer 2025. The position will be based in the Eileen Lappin Weiser Center for Learning Sciences in the Marsal School of Education at the University of Michigan.
