NICHOLAS BUTTRICK

Here’s the reformatted job posting in semantic HTML:

We are seeking a researcher to contribute to a study on the impact of "false growth mindsets" in educational settings. This project explores how students and teachers internalize growth mindset interventions and whether an incomplete understanding—such as believing effort alone guarantees success—affects academic performance.

About the Role

This position involves assessing the prevalence of false growth mindsets among teachers and students and examining their consequences on student outcomes. The research aims to refine growth mindset interventions by identifying gaps in understanding and their real-world effects.

Responsibilities

• Design and conduct studies to measure the prevalence of false growth mindsets in educational contexts.
• Analyze how these mindsets influence student performance and teacher practices.
• Collaborate with a team to interpret data and publish findings.
• Review existing literature on growth mindset interventions and related psychological frameworks.

Qualifications

• Ph.D. in Psychology, Education, or a related field (or advanced graduate student status).
• Experience with quantitative and/or qualitative research methods in educational or psychological studies.
• Familiarity with growth mindset theory and prior work on learning interventions.
• Strong analytical and writing skills, with a track record of peer-reviewed publications preferred.
