Position Overview

We are seeking a suitable candidate for a postdoctoral fellow position for two years fixed term, who will be a contributing team member in the Developing Mathematical Inquiry Communities (DMIC) project.
The DMIC project uses a model of ambitious mathematics teaching founded in equity and social justice, which incorporates an advanced form of complex instruction. The focus of research projects has been on developing teacher expertise, culturally sustaining, task design, pedagogical leadership, what it takes to develop in-class mentoring expertise, and conditions for sustainability and ongoing improvement. This approach drives the kind of productive collaboration that is critical for accelerated achievement in mathematics’ classrooms and in communities of learning. The successful candidate will need to engage with the extensive data gathered over the past years as well as collaborate in establishing new research foci around this programme.

Our ideal candidate will have or be about to complete a PhD in Education or a related discipline.

The salary scale for this role is at Postdoctoral Fellow grade (for 2024), ranging from $81,172-$97,988 (NZD). The salary will depend on skills and experience - appointment will be for a term of two years.
