UC Santa Barbara-Assistant Professor in Quantitative Methods in Educational Research

The Department of Education invites applicants for an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) whose scholarship focuses on the use of quantitative methods of research and analysis in Education, with expertise in one or more of the following areas: measurement (including approaches to test development, use, and validation, as well as the use of psychometric models), generalized linear modeling (including, e.g., multilevel and longitudinal modeling) and the use of a range of methodological approaches (e.g., AI/machine learning, Bayesian methods, causal inference, network analysis) in educational research.

The successful applicant should also either have a substantive program of research that dovetails with their methodological interests or a demonstrated record of contributing to such research. The department is particularly interested in scholars with a strong focus on culturally sustaining and justice-oriented research methods, and whose research, teaching, and service is in line with the School’s mission to address pressing social justice issues through interdisciplinary collaborations with a focus on diversity and inclusion.

This faculty member would be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate-level quantitative methods courses including the department’s first-year introductory sequence on statistics and research methods and advanced courses in their area(s) of specialization. These courses should be designed so that they will be beneficial to graduate students in all three Program Areas of the department: (1) Culture, Language, and Human Development, (2) Learning, Teaching, and Teacher Education, and (3) Policy, Leadership, and Research Methods, as well as to those in the doctoral programs at the Department of Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology.

UCSB is an AA/EOE, including disability/vets.
