Quick plug: As a Ph.D. Candidate, I'm actively seeking tenure-track faculty positions in educational psychology, teacher education, research methods, or measurement, as well as industry roles in UX research, applied research, survey research, and quantitative methods.

If I can’t find funding, my only other option is to withdraw my presentation as I’m not sure what else to do 🥲.

I got accepted for @APA, but because I’m not affiliated with my university anymore, I’m unable to receive any type of funding. I’m currently on the job market, so I can’t afford to pay out of pocket. Are there any funding opportunities available for early career researchers?.

This job market has been incredibly brutal… Keep me in your thoughts and send any opportunities my way!.

The 1 and not the 2. I DID IT! .Jaylene Patterson, Ph.D. 🎓

Another successful AERA and my first time attending NCME! 👏🏾🎉

I'm excited to share that I'll be attending both AERA and NCME this year! . I'd love to connect if you're there. Below are the sessions I'll be participating in. I hope to see you in Denver!.

Yesterday I passed my dissertation defense and I’m officially Dr. Jaylene Patterson!!!!!!!!! 👏🏾. I was so nervous and it went better than I could’ve ever imagined. I’m still processing this amazing milestone, but I did it!.

Hi everyone! I’m defending my dissertation on 4/17. Please let me know if you’d like to attend.

Do I have any colleagues who are good with Word document formatting?.

Overwhelmed and exhausted is an understatement. I just need to defend, pass, and take a very long nap.

It might seem minor, but having reputable journals reach out to me to submit manuscripts based on my expertise? That’s actually really dope!.

I’ve officially submitted my dissertation to my committee members. It still doesn’t feel real. I’m so proud of this work and I can’t wait to defend it in a couple of weeks!!.

I’m still on the market! 😊.

No job offer yet, but dissertation is coming along nicely 👏🏾.

Is there anyone on here who knows Rasch modeling and can assist me? I just need another set of eyes on something.

Another reminder that I’m still on the job market. Most of the postings have slowed down, but please send any faculty or industry positions my way!.

APA 2025 conference acceptance coming in randomly at 10:30pm? .I’ll take it! 🤣🎉.

RT @drthema: I know delays can be discouraging. May the manifestation be well worth the wait.

Trusting the process in my job search doesn’t make rejections any less painful 😓 Nevertheless, I have to keep pushing forward….
