Job Description

The NYU Steinhardt Department of Teaching and Learning seeks a part-time researcher to support an evaluation of an early childhood curriculum.

The project, directed by Dr. Susan Neuman, is designed to evaluate the effects of the Red Thread knowledge-building curriculum, which is currently in use in a selected number of Uncommon Schools in New York City. The evaluation will include pre-post assessments to measure students' progress, and observation of lessons in action.

In compliance with NYC's Pay Transparency Act, the hourly pay rate for the position will be $35-$37 per hour. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) the specific grant funding and terms of the research grant when extending an offer.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in early childhood education or a related field.
• Experience interacting with researchers and teachers in a classroom setting.
• Ability to work well with undergraduate and graduate students.
