• Participate in NSTC-funded research projects
• Conduct research on Generative AI and educational innovation
• Develop independent research agendas and study designs
• Engage in data collection, analysis, and scholarly publication
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary and international research teams
• Publish in leading international journals
• Strengthen your academic profile for future faculty or research positions

Qualifications

Applicants should:
• Hold a Ph.D. degree from an accredited university in a relevant field
• Demonstrate proficiency in quantitative and/or qualitative research methods
• Possess the ability to independently design and conduct research
• Show strong enthusiasm for academic research and publication

Research Projects and Responsibilities

Position 1 (One Opening)

NSTC Project:Localizing AI-Enhanced Inquiry-Based Bilingual Science Curricula and Exploring Factors for Optimized Educational Impact

This project is entering its third year and has accumulated a rich and valuable research database covering topics such as Generative AI, scientific inquiry, bilingual science education, and learning analytics. The project offers excellent opportunities for postdoctoral researchers to engage immediately in data analysis, manuscript preparation, and scholarly publication.
Our research team also collaborates with researchers at University of California, Berkeley. The postdoctoral researcher will have opportunities to participate in international research exchanges and collaborative projects, expand international academic networks, and contribute to research with global impact.
In addition to analyzing existing datasets and publishing research findings, the postdoctoral researcher will have opportunities to develop independent research ideas aligned with project goals and participate in curriculum implementation, data collection, and dissemination of research outcomes. This position is particularly suitable for scholars interested in educational technology, learning sciences, Generative AI, bilingual education, and STEM education at the secondary school level.

Position 2 (One Opening)

NSTC Project:Developing AI Ethics and Justice-Centered Science Curricula and Investigating the Critical Role of Students’ Epistemic Framing in Shaping Their Learning Processes and Outcomes

This project is scheduled to begin on August 1, 2026. It focuses on the design and implementation of AI ethics and justice-centered science curricula in higher education and examines how students’ epistemic framing shapes their learning processes and outcomes when engaging with AI-related socio-scientific issues.
The postdoctoral researcher will participate in research design, curriculum development, data collection and analysis, manuscript preparation, and dissemination of research findings. Opportunities are also available to pursue independent research interests related to the project.
This position is particularly suitable for scholars interested in educational technology, learning sciences, Generative AI, STEM education, AI ethics, epistemic cognition, and justice-centered science education in higher education settings.
