The REAL Centre, at the Faculty of Education, is looking to appoint a Research Associate focus on Impact and Cost-Effectiveness in PAL Network programmes. The postholder will undertake quantitative analysis of secondary data collected by the PAL Network to establish the impact of their interventions as well as financial data to capture project costs and undertake cost-effectiveness analyses, with a focus on Kenya, Tanzania and Nepal. In addition, it will involve working with PAL network researchers on mutually agreed analysis drawing on their comparative learning data across countries. This is a collaborative project with the PAL Network, funded by the FCDO via the What Works Hub for Global Education.
The postholder will be responsible for supporting quantitative research related to assessing learning outcomes, and analysing impact and cost-effectiveness of educational interventions.
