Hi Matt,

Could you forward the following two job announcements?

Medior researcher mathematics/statistics education/numeracy

Do you think it is important that mathematics and statistics education matches future needs? Would you like to put numeracy in the spotlight? Do you like doing research that connects to practice? We are looking for two researchers with a master degree and several years of experience. You are eager to combine practice-based research with work and experience in the field of statistics and mathematics teachers (education). Or you have a background as a caregiver, social worker, debt relief worker, and so on, in short, anyone who comes into contact with citizens within their profession. Many more details, including email addresses, can be found here: https://hogeschoolutrecht.easycruit.com/vacancy/3248751/144669 Please, submit your application through the website before November 5, 23:59 CET. Lonneke Boels, acting professor

Senior researcher numeracy (education)

Come and join our research group as a senior researcher and contribute to promoting numeracy among citizens and professionals. We are looking for a researcher eager to combine practice-based research and primary teacher training. A relevant PhD is required for this position. Many more details, including email addresses, can be found here: https://hogeschoolutrecht.easycruit.com/vacancy/3248715/144669 Please, submit your application through the website before November 5, 23:59 CET.

Hi Lonnecke,

I would basically just forward whatever you’d like about the postdoc position.

Do you want a description of any kind in the body of the email that I pass along? I think a note from you helps get more attention than if I try to come up with something on your behalf.

Thanks and congratulations on defending your dissertation! I’ve just taken care of it, so please take a look and let me know if you suggest any changes.

All the best,

Matt

You don't often get email from lonneke.boels@hu.nl. Learn why this is important

Dear Matt,

How are you doing? I just had holidays after my defense which was great.

In Australia (SRTL) you mentioned that you could post the postdoc position we have on a website.

Could you please post this position: https://www.hu.nl/werkenbij/vacatures/postdoctoral-researcher-eye-tracking-and-statistics

In addition, my dissertation is ready.

I will send it to you (for on the IASE website) in a separate email.
