A doctoral degree in a related field is required, though a Master's degree with significant experience may be considered. Preferred candidates possess a PhD in education or psychology and a proven track record of peer-reviewed publications and large-scale data analysis.
The Virginia Kindergarten Readiness Program (VKRP) housed within the Center for Advanced Study of Teaching and Learning (CASTL) at the UVA School of Education and Human Development seeks to hire a Research Scientist with an analytic focus to leverage and disseminate data related to early childhood education access and quality and children’s school readiness skills.

This position will assist in analysis and reporting needs as well as using data for systems improvements to help our team offer high-quality and equitable birth-to-five experiences for children across Virginia.
VKRP is a partnership between the University of Virginia, the Virginia Department of Education, and school divisions across the Commonwealth.
