| Postdoctoral Research Associate - Alliance for Identity-Inclusive Computing Education Department of Computer Science Duke University Durham, NC Schedule: Full-time, 12-month Start Date: Summer 2022 Program Information The Alliance for Identity-Inclusive Computing Education (AiiCE) (https://identityincs.org/) aims to increase the entry, retention, and course/degree completion rates of high-school and undergraduate students from groups that are historically underrepresented in computing through evidence-based, identity-inclusive interventions. AIICE is founded upon evidence that student-focused (and often deficit-based) strategies do not adequately address institutional cultures, policies, and practices that have marginalized people from non-dominant identities. Job Description Summary The Alliance seeks candidates for a postdoctoral position at the intersection of identity and computing/STEM. The position is part of a national effort to broaden participation in computing through identity-inclusive strategies. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to interact with faculty and researchers from Duke University, the University of Oregon, Mount Holyoke College, the Kapor Center, Constellations Center for Equity in Computing at Georgia Tech, ABET/CSAB, Reboot Representation, and the Center for Inclusive Computing.
