Research Fellow (x2 posts)

IOE is UCL Faculty of Education and Society.

Founded in 1902, IOE has been shaping policy and helping government, organisations and individuals navigate a changing society for the last 120 years. We embrace collaboration and excellence to create a future that is inclusive and just, and have been ranked number one for education every year since 2014 in the QS World University Rankings by Subject.

The Social Research Institute is one of the leading centres for social research in the UK. It is home to seven internationally renowned research units. All of our centres are multidisciplinary, with staff drawn variously from economics, sociology, social policy, demography, psychology, anthropology and social statistics. We promote problem-solving interdisciplinary research on particular themes where we have outstanding scholarship and critical mass, e.g. gender, families, work, inequalities, migration, bio-social interactions.

We are seeking to appoint two Research Fellows to support our work in automating evidence synthesis in DESTINY, and across other EPPI Centre projects.

You will assist with the development, documentation and evaluation of new methods for automating study discovery and classification, develop research protocols, gain set up and manage effective study procedures and conduct qualitative and quantitative analyses (which may involve writing software code in python and/or R).

With a PhD in relevant discipline, or equivalent experience, you will have experience of independently managing research projects and a successful record of effective completion of systematic reviews.

These posts are funded until 31^st December 2028 in the first instance.

As well as the exciting opportunities this role presents, we also offer some great benefits.
