[Maths-Education] Practitioner Researcher Post

[Hodgen, Jeremy]

Dear All,

* Practitioner Researcher Position Available *

The Department of Education and Professional Studies (DEPS), in the School of Social Science and Public Policy, wishes to appoint a Practitioner Researcher for the 'Best Practice in Grouping Students' research project, investigating setting and 'mixed ability' grouping, in the context of social inequality.

The post holder will contribute to the three and half year, Education Endowment Foundation funded project, which involves intervention delivery and research, in a Randomised Controlled Trial. Using intervention and mixed research methods, the project will explore effective practice in raising the achievement of secondary pupils with low prior attainment.

The project is led by Prof Becky Francis with a team including Prof Jeremy Hodgen, Prof Louise Archer & Prof Paul Connolly.

We are seeking to recruit an experienced practitioner researcher, ideally at Head of Subject level, with extensive secondary school experience and some expertise in social research. Experience of curriculum and/or CPD development and delivery, and expertise in issues around social identity and inequality, would be highly beneficial.
