Faculty Fellows

SPRING 2008 FELLOW

The Office of Faculty Enhancement would like to announce Dr. Adam Carle from the College of Arts and Sciences and the Department of Psychology as the Spring 2008 Faculty Fellow.

Have you ever floundered with statistics or searched unsatisfactorily for a good research design? Has this impeded your ability to accomplish good research? If so, please bring your attention to a new statistical consulting and collaboration service provided during the Spring 2008 Semester in conjunction with OFE, OSRP, COAS, and the Department of Psychology. This service intends to provide UNF faculty pursuing publishable, scholarly research with the methodological and statistical consulting and collaboration resources they need to support these activities. Dr. Adam C. Carle will initially offer this assistance during the Spring 2008 semester as a Faculty Fellow. Chiefly Dr. Carle will help faculty choose and understand the research methods and quantitative models best suited to their particular research project. Additionally, he will help faculty work with their data. He will answer questions as faculty develop a research plan, walk through their statistics, find and learn an appropriate statistical package, and he will aid with results interpretation and articulation. Faculty may also approach Dr. Carle as a collaborator and coauthor, rather than a consultant, especially in cases where faculty feel they cannot or do not have the resources to learn an entirely new set of analytical tools.

Each Thursday from 11:00-12:00, he will hold regular office hours (51/3403) during which faculty can arrive unannounced. However, to insure assistance, faculty should contact Dr. Carle directly (904-620-3573), as we expect a high demand for this service. At the semester’s end, he will provide a general talk describing some fundamental ideas in research methodology and their relation to statistical methods.

Dr. Carle received his PhD in Psychology from Arizona State University with a focus on statistics and research methodology. After achieving his PhD, he served two years as a Post-doctoral Research Psychologist at the US Census Bureau where he provided quantitative and methodological support to individuals within the Census Bureau and across the Federal Statistical Agencies. He has extensive experience in diverse statistical models and research methods and has mastered an assorted set of statistical software programs in both the Windows and Mac environments. He comfortably works with Social and Physical Scientists pursuing basic or applied research programs. He looks forward to seeing you this semester.
