Research Positons

We are seeking a full-time postdoctoral research associate to work in the machine learning for education (ML4Ed) research group, led by Andrew Lan, at UMass Amherst. The postdoc will contribute to research directions including, but not limited to: 

• First, natural language processing (NLP) for education, including large language model (LLM)-based student modeling, question/feedback/learning content generation, automated scoring and student error diagnosis, etc. Please see https://people.umass.edu/~andrewlan/publications.html for a detailed list of publications from our group. 
• Second, building a national cyberinfrastructure for transforming STEM education, a $90M project funded via NSF's mid-scale research infrastructure-2 program. As a research partner on the project, we will help create research infrastructure around major digital learning platforms to enable secure educational research.
