Postdoctoral Fellow Posting Number: SP005170P Division/College: College of Agricultural & Life Sciences Department: Family & Consumer Sciences Location: Moscow Posting Context Statement: The postdoctoral researcher will work closely with Dr. Shiyi Chen (PI) on NSF -funded research examining young children’s developing metacognition and early science learning. The three ongoing studies draw on observation, survey, and experimental methods to explore how 3- to 5-year-old children make sense of their own thinking and how teachers can meaningfully nurture this process through language-rich interactions and hands-on science activities. The postdoc will contribute to ongoing projects, lead independent research aligned with the grant’s goals, and collaborate with the research team. Position Overview: The responsibilities include conducting quantitative and/or mixed-methods research and leading data collection, management, and analysis for...

Postdoctoral Fellow Posting Number: SP005141P Division/College: College of Science Department: Physics Location: Moscow Posting Context Statement: Position Overview: A postdoctoral position is available in the Department of Physics at the University of Idaho. The primary focus of this position is advancing numerical relativity methods for compact binary systems. Specifically, the scholar will conduct research in numerical relativity by extending the Einstein Toolkit, BlackHoles@Home, and the superB project to perform state-of-the-art simulations of compact binaries (including, for example, binary black holes, binary neutron stars, and black hole–neutron star binaries). The broader goals are to generate accurate predictions for gravitational-wave and multimessenger signals and to explore challenging regimes of parameter space. Required Experience: Demonstrated research in numerical relativity, computational general relativity, or a closely...
