  *   Learning analytics applied to important issues in the field of education, including but not limited to: diversity, educational disparities, achievement, development of 21st century skills, processes of learning, and other aspects of the learning sciences.


This is a unique opportunity for someone with a research focus on methodological issues that arise from the intersection of learning analytics and the learning sciences, or other analytic approaches analyzing learning through the investigation of large-scale data.

The Department of Educational Psychology has consistently been ranked the #1 Department of Educational Psychology and the School of Education is ranked as the #1 public School of Education in the US.
