Job Details:

The objective of this project is to build an interdisciplinary global network-of-networks focusing on aspects of learning, development, and culture as they relate to global education needs. Our AccelNET represents an advance in methods for engaging in scalable convergence science, as well as how to harness global science to accelerate cultures of learning. We aim to leverage technology, social science, and data science advances to create collaborative resources designed to elevate the global science of learning and education. We seek to implement a sustainable ecosystem of communication, synthesis, best practices, research, and innovation for a network-of-networks designed to accelerate the global science of learning. We will evolve an interdisciplinary network-of-networks, including social science researchers, neuroscientists, psychologists, data scientists, engineers, designers, global development practitioners, philanthropists, educators, and policy makers in order to create cross-cutting infrastructure to tackle pressing challenges in the science of learning to meet the needs of global education. The network leverages resources from four existing networks: the Global Science of Learning for Education Network (GSoLEN), a network of scientists, policy experts, philanthropists, and practitioners all focused on learning and education; the Center for Applied Cognitive Science (CACS), a center specializing on applying cognitive science to relevant problems using culturally appropriate measures and approaches, an educational technology and innovation network, Mind Center for Educational Technology (MindCET), and a global development network, Global Communities. Our AccelNET specializes in global development, learning, education, cross-cultural training, and policy.This position will entail taking a leadership role in project management and convergence science. The Project Coordinator will work with the leadership team and network of network collaborators to implement project activities, meet deadlines, and ensure deliverables are met.

Full-time position with an immediate start date and will be funded for one year with the opportunity to extend.
