There is a critical need to increase the number of individuals with relevant expertise that align with emerging economic needs in areas such as high-tech manufacturing, artificial intelligence, safe renewable energies, and cyber security. In order to meet these needs, it is of the utmost importance that STEM education researchers come from diverse perspectives to help identify and answer consequential questions relating to STEM education research, including gender and sexual minorities. This postdoctoral research cohort program seeks to train early-career scholars to carry out STEM education research projects that incorporate analyses at the institutional, classroom, and cultural levels. The program is designed to prepare postdoctoral fellows for careers who are well-positioned to lead productive careers carrying out research aligned with emerging needs and is policy relevant. The cohort program is designed to foster a sense of belonging through a STEM education research community. This project is designed to recruit and train a cohort of three postdoctoral scholars to address intersectional concerns of marginalization and disciplinary activity in STEM. The project is designed to respond to the need to (1) support early-career STEM education researchers who have strong potential to address the needs of STEM learners that are under-researched and (2) help postdoctoral fellows to further develop skills required to conduct rigorous STEM education research that analyze phenomena at the institutional, cultural, and classroom-levels. Fellows will be engaged in research through two research rotations prior to choosing two permanent mentors (one in science education and one in critical studies) to support them in creating and implementing an independent research project. The project incorporates a rich series of development opportunities including mentoring, conference attendance, and a research symposium.This project is funded by the STEM Education Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (STEM Ed PRF) program that aims to enhance the research knowledge, skills, and practices of recent doctorates in STEM, STEM education, education, and related disciplines to advance their preparation to engage in fundamental and applied research that advances knowledge within the field.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

迫切需要增加具有相关专业知识的个人数量，以满足高科技制造、人工智能、安全可再生能源和网络安全等领域的新兴经济需求。 为了满足这些需求，STEM教育研究人员从不同的角度来帮助识别和回答与STEM教育研究相关的重要问题（包括性别和性少数群体）至关重要。这个博士后研究队列计划旨在培养早期职业学者开展STEM教育研究项目，包括机构，课堂和文化层面的分析。 该计划旨在为博士后研究员的职业生涯做好准备，他们能够领导富有成效的职业生涯，开展与新兴需求相一致的研究，并与政策相关。 队列计划旨在通过STEM教育研究社区培养归属感。该项目旨在招募和培训一批三名博士后学者，以解决STEM边缘化和学科活动的交叉问题。该项目旨在满足以下需求：（1）支持早期职业STEM教育研究人员，他们有很强的潜力来解决研究不足的STEM学习者的需求;（2）帮助博士后研究员进一步发展进行严格的STEM教育研究所需的技能，分析机构，文化和课堂层面的现象。 研究员将通过两个研究轮换从事研究，然后选择两个永久导师（一个在科学教育和一个在批判性研究），以支持他们在创建和实施一个独立的研究项目。 该项目包含了丰富的一系列发展机会，包括指导，会议出席和研究研讨会。该项目由STEM教育博士后研究奖学金资助。（干艾德PRF）计划，旨在提高研究知识，技能，并在干，干教育，教育，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的学术价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
