One postdoctoral position is available in the Digital Media & Learning
Research Hub, at the UC Humanities Research Institute, based on the

Connected Learning, investigating how digital and networked media can
support interest-driven and socially connected forms of learning. The
postdoctoral scholar will be responsible for conducting ethnographic and
design research on interest-driven learning with digital media, with a
focus on parental involvement. The project will involve building on an
existing body of research to develop and study how families can more
productively engage with digital media. Research, design, and writing
will be conducted as part of a collaborative team effort with principle
investigators and others involved in the research network.

and research experience with contemporary developments concerning youth,

mixed methods research will also be valued. Travel may be required in
this position to perform research and meet with collaborators.
