The Faculty of Education is looking to appoint an Assistant Professor in Education, with specific expertise in Quantitative Methodologies. The successful candidate will demonstrate outstanding knowledge and understanding of the applications of quantitative research methodologies in the field of educational research. In addition, the successful candidate must demonstrate extensive experience with the teaching of a range of quantitative research topics in education, including quantitative research designs, quantification and validation of concepts, sampling and data collection, and quantitative methods of analysis, among others. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate how they communicate effectively, and to diverse audiences, both aspects related to their educational field and how this is explored using quantitative methods.
The faculty is particularly looking for candidates who have expertise engaging with diverse forms of quantitative data to understand the central role of education in addressing challenges facing societies today. This might include data from large scale surveys, learning assessments, administrative data, unstructured data such as that generated from social media, or other forms of data whose exploration requires the use of quantitative methods.
Candidates are required to demonstrate that their research falls substantively within the field of education. This may include researching the processes and outcomes of teaching and/or learning, the ways in which learners engage with their social world, as well as the role of systems and institutions within education. We are particularly interested in candidates that have demonstrated that their research has implications for educational policy and/or practice the UK and/or internationally, commensurate with the stage of their career. The candidate's theoretical or disciplinary orientations used in engaging with educational research with quantitative methodologies may include, among others, perspectives from the arts and humanities, including literature and literacy; or the social sciences, including economics, sociology, or psychology.
The successful candidate will contribute to the faculty’s undergraduate degree (Tripos), graduate programmes at master’s and Doctoral levels, and PGCE and practitioner professional development routes. This contribution will include a substantial component of teaching quantitative methods to undergraduate and postgraduate audiences at basic, intermediate, and advanced/specialist statistics level in the faculty and beyond and may include the coordination of relevant courses.
