The Jacobs Center for Productive Youth Development (JCPYD) at the University of Zurich (UZH) is offering two postdoctoral Research Fellows to join its newly established Swiss Evidence in Education Lab (Swiss EdLab). The Swiss EdLab connects researchers in education and developmental science with experts from academia, policy, public education authorities, and practitioners. We are dedicated to translating and disseminating scientific knowledge to provide policymakers with the evidence needed for informed decision-making, advancing equitable learning opportunities for all children, and shaping national and international research and policy. 

Key activities of the Swiss EdLab include:

* Translating and disseminating research evidence to stakeholders.

* Training education professionals in data literacy to empower evidence-informed decision-making.

* Organizing policy labs, where scientists, policymakers, and other stakeholders collaborate on applying research findings and collected data to address policy needs.

The successful candidates will receive full support from the Swiss EdLab team, led by Dr. Doris Hanappi and Prof. Moritz M. Daum. This support includes advancing their expertise, fostering meaningful engagement with stakeholders, and contributing to impactful research. The appointment is available for the 2025 - 2027 academic year, with the possibility of renewal.
