Hi Tipsters, This came over my monitor moments ago, and it strikes me that some of you may find the opportunity of interest. Sorry if you've already seen it. -Mike > >===== Original Message From [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===== >Please bring the following announcement to the attention of any potential >postdoctoral candidates whom you may know: > > >The Yale Center for Abilities, Competencies, and Expertise (PACE) seeks >three postdoctoral associates to be involved in or to direct various >research projects: >1. Intelligent schools. How can bright people combine to form >organizations that are not very bright? Some schools comprise intelligent >individuals (principals, teachers, students), yet the joint outcome in >terms of their functioning does not seem very smart. We are seeking to >understand what makes some schools, as systems, "smarter" than others. >2. Teaching for successful intelligence. How can teachers teach >and students learn in a way that optimizes the outcomes for both? We have >several projects investigating whether the theory of successful >intelligence might optimize outcomes in the classroom. One such project >will compare the results of a charter school based on the Successful >Intelligence Model to a control school not based on the model. Another >project compares teaching for successful intelligence in schools around >the country to teaching for analytical thinking or memory. >3. Developing military leadership. What is the most effective >way for military leaders to learn the tacit knowledge they need for >leadership success? This project compares alternative forms of >instruction for their effectiveness in teaching leader what they need to >know in order to be effective. >Duties include developing research materials (surveys, >instructions), collecting research data, managing communications between >the Yale University research team and external collaborators, data >analysis, monitoring projects' requirements and progress, and supervising >project staff. The openings are immediate and for one year (renewable), >but the starting date is negotiable. >There are also always opportunities for postdoctoral fellows who >have obtained or wish to write their own grant proposals. >The PACE Center offers an exciting and stimulating environment for >training, establishing collaboration, gaining experience in data analysis, >and for developing skills in report and grant writing. The Center >includes over 20 international researchers at different levels of >professional expertise conducting projects in a number of countries and >throughout the United States. We work as a team and all projects are done >in a highly collaborative way. We are dedicated to the notion that >abilities are at least somewhat flexible and that they can be modified >with experience. >Please address a cover-letter, vita, reprints of relevant publications, >and two letters of reference to Professor Robert J.
