**Tilburg University is looking for**

**a PhD in Psychometrics/Methodology and Statistics: Psychometric innovations for measurement in adaptive learning systems**

Position in brief
School: Tilburg School of Social and Behavioral Sciences
Department: Methodology and Statistics
Location: Tilburg
Monthly full-time gross salary: €2.770 (first year) - €3.539 (fourth year)
Duration of employment contract: 4 years (12 + 36 months)

Weekly hours: 40 hours

**Project description**
In this project, you will be carrying out psychometric research with the aim to write several articles that are publishable in peer-reviewed journals and present your work on national and international conferences. Your research combines modern psychometrics, including new data technologies, with learning analytics and educational technology.

You will become part of the Department of Methodology and Statistics and will join an active research group in psychometrics. This project is supervised by dr. Maria Bolsinova, dr. Matthieu Brinkhuis (Utrecht University) and prof. Jeroen Vermunt.

**Background**
One of the most promising ambitions in educational technology is the move towards large-scale personalized learning enabled by the development of online adaptive learning systems. These systems dynamically adjust the level of practice and instructional material based on the individual student's abilities. Adaptive learning systems aim to make tailor-made education available to everyone and to improve both the learning process and the learning outcomes. To optimize feedback, instructions, and learning material, one needs to have continuously updated, accurate and reliable measures of the students’ changing abilities. This makes measurement one of the central issues in adaptive learning. However, the adaptive, dynamic, and large-scale nature of online learning systems poses challenges for traditional measurement models and algorithms. This project is devoted to developing and evaluating innovative computationally efficient algorithms for monitoring ability in adaptive learning systems.

**Your position**

**Your responsibilities**
- Your research work includes literature reviews, developing and extending statistical methodologies, analysing theoretical & practical properties, conducting simulations, analysing empirical data, and writing software.
- You will prepare scientific articles to be published in international journals, present key findings at national and international scientific conferences, and write a dissertation.
- You will contribute to Open Science and Team Science.
- You will actively participate in the Department of Methodology and Statistics.
- You will contribute to education and supervision (e.g. supervising bachelor’s theses and research skills groups).

**Your background**
- Programming and data analytic skills (e.g., R, Python, or others)
- Interest in conducting high-quality research with societal relevance
- Communication and cooperation skills and willingness to work in a team
- Project management and organization skills
- Interest in open science and team science
- Proficiency in English, including academic writing
