Mathematics Education Fellow (1:1 Research Initiative)

EQL Tech

7d • Remote

About The Position

This role is structured as an elite, one-year educational fellowship. Our client is looking for rigorous, deliberate practitioners who view learning through an analytical lens. The initiative is building a highly controlled cohort of master instructors to benchmark the specific cognitive efficacy of sustained, 1:1 human mathematics tutoring against both AI-driven tutoring modalities and traditional classroom models. The resulting data will directly inform the future landscape of primary education.

Requirements

• Must be a US citizen or long-term resident currently living and operating within the United States.
• Verifiable experience moving the needle in early-to-mid elementary mathematics, demonstrating a profound understanding of foundational numerical logic.
• Elite communication skills over a digital medium, with an innate ability to maintain rapport and active attention with 8-to-10-year-olds in a virtual classroom setting.
• Flawless execution of daily documentation requirements (decision journaling) and a high comfort level with performance data tracking.

Nice To Haves

• Certified career teacher seeking relief from administrative school-board bureaucracy.
• Top-tier university graduate (with a strong background in math, data science, or psychology) who boasts a verifiable track record of shifting student academic trajectories.
• Exceptional fellows will naturally have the opportunity to step into lead instructor capacities as the cohort expands.
• Exceptional fellows will have concrete opportunities to extend their contracts into years two and three, or step into lead instructor and research design capacities as the project scales.

Responsibilities

• Deliver approximately 3 hours daily of high-fidelity, individualized virtual mathematics instruction to a dedicated cohort of 3rd and 4th-grade students.
• Diagnose student mathematical misconceptions and strengths in real time.
• Prescribe and deploy custom, fluid learning pathways rooted in established cognitive research.
• Dedicate roughly 60 minutes daily to structured reflection, logging detailed "decision journals" after every session.
• Track micro-data regarding student cognitive states, instructional interventions, and data-driven adjustments.
• Participate actively in observation, clinical peer reviews, and ongoing feedback cycles alongside an expert team of researchers and data scientists.

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package
• Financial predictability of a premium institutional role within a flexible, remote framework
• Zero energy spent on classroom crowd control, behavioral management, school board bureaucracy, or administrative red tape
• Opportunity to contribute to a high-stakes, heavily funded ($15M) scientific study
• Collaboration with a selective peer network of like-minded educators, data scientists, and researchers from top-tier institutions (such as MIT and Stanford)
• Freedom to work from anywhere within the United States
• Premium salary typically reserved for high-cost-of-living metropolitan areas
• Concrete opportunities to extend contracts into years two and three
• Opportunities to step into lead instructor and research design capacities
