#  Postdoctoral Associate, Section of Horticulture @ Cornell University 

 





April 20, 2026

 

 

The EQUIP Lab, led by Dr. Mariel Pfeifer at Cornell University, is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate with expertise in qualitative and/or mixed methods research. Our lab is passionate about conducting research that helps transform STEM education and career training. A major focus of our work is studying how undergraduate STEM courses can be tailored to meet the needs of all learners. Current projects involve studying STEM instructor perceptions of student-centered learning as well as how students from backgrounds traditionally considered “outside” the academy experience and engage in STEM learning and career training. The postdoctoral associate will contribute to existing projects and will also have the opportunity to develop independent or collaborative lines of research aligned with the lab’s mission. The successful candidate will play a major role in the design and execution of qualitative and mixed methods research, working both independently and collaboratively with members of the lab and research partners across institutions. The postdoctoral associate will:

•Lead and contribute to research design, data collection, and analysis

•Author manuscripts and present at academic conferences

•Co-mentor undergraduate researchers, with support and guidance

•Actively contribute to a collaborative lab culture, including providing feedback on ongoing work and participating in lab meetings

We welcome applicants with varied backgrounds and experience, including those who are still developing expertise in some of the areas described above. We are committed to fostering a supportive research environment. You can read more about our mentoring approaches. Depending on the postdoctoral associate’s interests and career goals, additional mentorship in areas such as grant writing, teaching, and science communication will be available. The postdoctoral associate will join a growing community of discipline-based education researchers at Cornell University. Our community meets regularly and offers opportunities for feedback, professional development, and collaboration.
