The Cube³ Lab at UC Davis (PI: Dr. Xianglong Wang) is looking for a part-time junior specialist to assist in qualitative or quantitative engineering educational research, depending on the candidate’s qualifications.
The candidate will be working on either a qualitative study for the formation of engineering identity in first-year students or development and quantitative validation of a novel oral assessment for biomedical engineering skills. Most engineering educational projects in the lab are classified as human subject research and are subject to IRB rules. The candidate will assist in recruiting subjects, collect research data (including scheduling interviews for qualitative research), manage data according to the lab’s data management plan, issue gift cards to subjects, keep track of the gift card inventory, and perform quantitative or qualitative analysis.

The candidate’s significant and meaningful contributions described above will lead to authorship or acknowledgement of published work, according to the criteria set in the lab handbook.
Deadline for full consideration is August 6, 2026.
