Job Description:
As the Senior Research Scientist (Measurement) at Bezos Academy,
you are a mission-driven individual who is passionate about
uncovering insights that serve children, advance equity, and
empower communities. You will partner with researchers, early
childhood experts, and our education team to build new, authentic
measures of early childhood learning, then conduct related research
and analyses with those measures to scale our impact.
You are a proven measurement expert who will help us invent and
implement Montessori-aligned child outcome measures. Your critical
contributions will help our teachers cultivate children's original
thinking, creative leadership, and a love of learning. You
understand the limitations of existing early childhood assessments
and you are passionate about building tools to fill those gaps.
Over time, you will also lend your technical expertise to our
Education and People teams to support the development of
assessments for our educator training programs. This will enable
new teachers to demonstrate a mastery of Montessori practices and
ensure they are fully ready to nurture each child's potential.
You bring expertise in qualitative and quantitative research, as
well as a range of assessment methodologies, and will lead the
assessment development process from content framework creation to
validation. You know how to turn research into action and will make
evidence-based recommendations to shift strategies and practices to
maximize outcomes for our students. You bring an equity-based
approach to assessment design and analysis that eliminates bias and
honors the diversity of human knowledge. Above all, you share our
passion for expanding access to high quality, Montessori-inspired
preschool within under-resourced communities as we expand
nationwide.
