The Department of Biology at St. Mary’s College of Maryland is accepting applications for the contingent position of Education Research Specialist, beginning December 2025. The Education Research Specialist (Postdoctoral Scholar) will join a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded, 2.5-year research project focused on improving undergraduate biology education through innovative curricular tools. The postdoctoral scholar will be primarily responsible for conducting qualitative research, including semi-structured interviews with instructors and students, and leading qualitative analysis of interview data. The scholar will also contribute to the production of peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.
Additional responsibilities may include collaboration on curriculum development and testing, supporting dissemination activities, and contributing to the project’s long-term evaluation goals. A background or experience in illustration, drawing, or visual communication is preferred, as the project team is incorporating graphical and game-based elements into biology education research. This position reports to the Principal Investigator, Dr. Abby Beatty, at St. Mary’s College of Maryland and works closely with a multi-institutional team of biology education researchers.
While it is preferred that the Education Research Specialist work on campus at St. Mary’s College of Maryland to facilitate collaboration and mentoring, remote work options are available for highly qualified candidates.
Qualifications: Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Biology Education Research, Science Education, Biology, Psychology, or a closely related field. ABD candidates will also be considered. The salary range is $55,000 - $60,000, depending on qualifications and experience. This is a contingent position that may be eligible for limited benefits.
