Postdoctoral Fellow, Communities of Impact, Educating Character Initiative
The role of the postdoctoral fellow will be to work closely with researchers, scholars, and practitioners across the ECI Community to support collective learning through (1) research aimed at understanding the landscape of character education across higher education and showing the impact of intentional character development in higher education contexts; (2) contributions to the design of learning experiences and practical resources equipping institutions to undertake character-building projects adapted to their institutional contexts; and (3) support for the creation and maintenance of a collective learning platform for individuals and institutions in the ECI Community. The postdoctoral fellow will report to the Managing Director of the ECI Communities of Impact and work closely with the ECI research and education teams as well as the staff of the broader Program for Leadership and Character. This position is an excellent fit for recent PhDs, early career scholars, and emerging leaders in character education. The postdoctoral fellowship, which begins August 1, 2026, is grant-funded for one year and, pending satisfactory work, renewable for an additional year.
