Ecuador Higher Education Study Tour
Dates: June 1 - June 11, 2016
Faculty Leader: Dr. Raul Leon (Eastern Michigan University)
Early Bird Registration: March 1, 2016
Program Cost: Faculty and Administrators (2,500) / Graduate Students ($2,300)
We are very pleased to announce the "Ecuador Higher Education Study Tour" for Summer 2016. We had a very successful program last year with participants that included junior and senior faculty, administrators, and graduate students from several institutions across the U.S.. During the tour, we learned about higher education, student affairs, public policy and the educational system in Ecuador. We also had the opportunity to visit public and private secondary and post-secondary institutions. In addition, we interacted with local faculty, administrators, students, and government officials.
This academic tour will take place in Quito, the country's capital, home to over 30 institutions of higher education. This tour will provide students, administrators, and faculty, with the opportunity to examine higher education in Ecuador during a time of unprecedented reform, which has drawn attention from the region as Ecuador seeks to transform the nature of their educational system. Quito stands as one of the oldest cities in Latin America, with the best preserved colonial center in the world. Today, our host city continues to gather international attention as a world class destination.
Once again, we are hoping to have a strong student affairs representation from across the country in the tour. Dr. Leon is an Associate Professor of Higher Education at Eastern Michigan University. He was born and raised in Ecuador and will lead the study tour. Please contact Dr. Leon directly at [email protected] for more details.
**We are also very pleased to continue to support participants with scholarships ($300 award) towards to the total cost of the study tour. Master’s and doctoral students are eligible to apply for this scholarship

The Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern California is pleased to announce a post-doctoral research associate position supported by an award from the Spencer Foundation. The post-doctoral research associate will be appointed for up to two years, from September 2016 through August 2018. The post-doctoral research associate will work closely with Drs. Katharine Strunk and Julie Marsh on a study that is examining the implementation of portfolio management models (PMM) in three cities: Los Angeles, Denver and New Orleans. Although the post-doctoral research associate will be located at USC, she/he will work with the full project team, including Dr. Katy Bulkley (Montclair State University) and Dr. Doug Harris (Tulane University).
Research will include the examination of questions related to the implementation and outcomes of different aspects of PMM systems, including performance-based accountability, increased school-based autonomy, enhanced student choice, stronger and more flexible human capital management, and targeted capacity-building. We expect the postdoctoral research associate to focus on the administrative data management and analysis aspects of the study, under the close guidance of Drs. Strunk and Harris. In particular, the post-doctoral research associate will work with administrative student-, teacher- and school-level data from the Los Angeles Unified School District and Denver Public Schools. In addition, the postdoctoral researcher will help analyze data from team-administered principal and teacher surveys. The post-doctoral research associate also will assist with project management, working closely with a team of doctoral and masters students, professors across three institutions, and district partners in Denver and Los Angeles. We anticipate that the post-doctoral research associate will have sufficient time to pursue his or her own independent research, in addition to project-related duties.
We anticipate that this post-doctoral training will include intensive mentoring from the primary investigators of the study on important aspects of research such as: the production of high quality scholarship; incorporating mixed methods to address important education policy questions; publishing research in peer-reviewed journals; and presenting research findings. To that end, the selected candidate will work to build his/her own research program by formulating research questions, generating research designs, conducting statistical analyses, writing and presenting findings at national conferences, and submitting manuscripts to leading peer-reviewed education and related journals. Experience will include mentorship with the PIs; engagement in every stage of the research process alongside faculty and students; and participation in USC seminar series and quantitative research working groups.
Applicants for this position must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and have a Ph.D. in education/ education policy or a relevant social science discipline by the appointment begin date of September 1, 2016. A track record of publication, experience with the management of large administrative datasets using STATA, evidence of strong quantitative research skills, and substantive knowledge and background in the field of education are required. Experience working on large-scale team-based projects is preferred but not necessary. Other preferred skills include: excellent interpersonal, verbal and written communication; strong organization; experience using STATA and excel; and the ability to work collaboratively Salary will be $50,000 per year plus full benefits and some funds to be used for travel to present work at conferences.
To apply, candidates must provide a cover letter stating interest in the position and qualifications, current curriculum vitae, one writing sample (publication or draft manuscript), and the contact information for three professional references. Screening of applications will begin on November 15, 2015; the position will remain open until filled. Applications can be submitted at:https://jobs.usc.edu/postings/54139
The Rossier School of Education and the University of Southern California welcome applications from women, minorities, veterans and persons with disabilities. We seek to build a culturally diverse intellectual environment, and are committed to a policy of equal employment opportunity and to the principles of affirmative action in accordance with state and federal laws.
