Last year I applied to become a professor at Concordia University in Montreal, and I wrote a four page research statement. These are very difficult to write, and I have no idea if this is good or not - position was cancelled in the end. Thought I'd share drive.google.com/file/d/1NWciJj…
To ensure that rich interactive collaborative learning gains a foothold in universities and
schools, and leads to better learning outcomes, we need to conduct research across different grain sizes, and make connections between separate
disciplines and research approaches.

Of course the only reason I'm sharing this publicly is secretly hoping people will say "Oh my god, they should have hired you. Their loss!"... Mutuals, you know what's expected of you... :)
Let's do more - I wrote two different letters for two different positions at Open Uni Netherlands... They told me it was for a full prof, and they expected 50 referenced publications! drive.google.com/file/d/1EsK7Bg… drive.google.com/file/d/1xbKzF0…
Going further back, a grant application I submitted in 2011: Doctorate Plan of Study: Collaborative work on ideas generated on distributed platforms to promote deep learning. Interesting how relevant these ideas still are today! docs.google.com/document/d/1T5…
Final one, and the one that inspired me - an application to become a CRI Fellow at Centre de Recherche Interdisciplinaire in Paris. More applied/citizen-sciency, so I targeted that: Scaling collaborative learning: research, software ecosystem, granularity docs.google.com/document/d/13t…
