Job DescriptionThe Center for Children and Technology (CCT) is a research and development center within the Education Development Center (EDC) and is based in New York City. Founded in 1980, CCT investigates how technology can influence and enhance teaching and learning across a wide range of educational settings. CCT conducts basic, applied, causal and formative research, working in collaboration with educational, corporate, government and research institutions. CCT also designs and develops prototype software and instructional resources that support engaged, active learning.

Candidates for this position must be located in New York City, be able to travel to the other applicable sites at least once per year and travel to research conferences.
Project 1: On this project, the Research Associate II will be part of a team working with museums/science centers in New York, Pittsburgh and Albuquerque that are developing a practitioner guide for creating informal engineering design programs with and for neurodiverse audiences using universal design for learning (UDL) principles. The researcher will conduct co-design research with neurodivergent youth on a design team as well as qualitative and quantitative research to investigate whether the UDL-based programs influence neurodiverse children’s engagement in engineering design processes; and whether UDL fosters a sense of belongingness for neurodiverse children and their caregivers. To achieve these research purposes, the researcher will gather data including interviews with the youth co-designers and their families; as well as observations, interviews, and surveys with children and caregivers who participate in pilot programs. Thematic analyses will use inductive and deductive methods, generating and applying coding schemes based on prior studies of belongingness and engineering design processes in informal learning environments.
Project 2: The Research Associate II will join a NASA-funded project aimed at providing a pathway to NASA employment for young adults who identify as neurodivergent. The researcher in this role will work with informal educational partners to co-redevelop NASA educational resources for autistic and neurodivergent youth and disseminate these products to relevant communities.
