Position Summary
Postdoctoral
Research Fellow Position for National Science Foundation Research Project on Teachers’ Equity Beliefs and
Practice
Indiana University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to a multi-year
study focused on understanding teachers’ attributional beliefs about mathematical excellence.
The project is entitled “Attributions
of Mathematical Excellence in Teaching and Learning” (AMETL). The central hypothesis is that teachers’ beliefs attributing mathematical
excellence to innate ability, cultural and social background, or personal characteristics widen the opportunity gap by resonating implicit
bias and stereotype threat, and moreover, that beliefs attributing mathematical excellence to instructional opportunities narrow the gap
because these beliefs amplify teacher expectations. The project comprises three studies focused on (1) item development to construct the
AMETL scale; (2) validating the internal structure of the scale and determining relations with other variables; and (3) understanding
relations between teachers’ scores on the AMETL scale with their classroom instruction. The overall research project is a collaboration
between multiple partners at Indiana University, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill, and Georgia State University. A short description of this NSF project can be found at: https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD
