Postdoc Researcher: IDEE Teaching and Learning in the Age of AI, Delft University of Technology
Mathematics Education Researchers (MER) community
Are you curious about the role of AI in the future of education? Join us as a postdoctoral researcher and help shape our understanding of meaningful learning in the age of AI.
Job description
Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is looking for a postdoctoral researcher on the topic of “Teaching and Learning in the Age of AI” within the Innovation for Delft Engineering Education (IDEE) initiative. This project focuses on how we, as a university, can respond to the rise of AI in the learning process. What does AI mean for the way we teach and learn? How can meaningful learning be redefined in today’s AI-enabled educational landscape?
The project aims to (1) develop a theoretical framework of constructive alignment for AI-rich teaching environments; (2) identify which patterns of student-AI interactions lead to deep/surface learning; (3) create, implement and evaluate guidelines and knowledgebase for teachers to design and integrate AI in their courses; and (4) create an engaged community around teaching and learning in the age of AI.
The project team consists of a PhD candidate, two postdoctoral researchers, research assistants, an educational advisor, and an interfaculty team of researchers and educators. For the postdoctoral position, we are seeking a highly motivated and talented researcher, with a keen eye for strong research designs.
As a postdoctoral researcher, you will:
- Conduct a structured literature review on meaningful learning and AI in education.
- Develop and evaluate a theoretical framework for constructive alignment in AI-supported learning environments.
- Design and implement qualitative research (e.g., surveys, interviews, focus groups) involving students, educators, and policymakers.
- Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to gather data and validate the framework.
- Contribute to the development of guidelines and policy recommendations.
Submission is possible until: 30 May 2025
