**About us**:
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 Department of Education, Practice and Society (EPS) has specialists from a wide variety of disciplines including history, sociology and philosophy who undertake research to support education throughout the life course by contributing to economic, social and political debate as well as development in societies, nationally and internationally. The department pioneers research collaborations with external partners to diversify the contribution that educational research can make academically, professionally and practically for individuals and communities. The work of the department strives to provide solutions to current and emerging pressure points in societies, such as economic change and social injustice, by creating networks and partnerships to support knowledge transfer between education, work and communities.

The Department of Education, Practice and Society has an exciting research portfolio of projects.

**About the role**:
The UCL Institute of Education, Department of Education, Practice & Society is looking to recruit a Research Assistant with language skills (Pashto and Dari) to work on a new project, funded by the Nuffield foundation, entitled ‘Afghan Resettlement in England: Experiences and Outcomes.’ (AREEO)

The research aims to improve the effectiveness of Afghan resettlement schemes in England, by generating knowledge of newly arriving Afghan refugees’ experiences and outcomes and using this to inform implementation by regional migration partnerships and Local Authorities (LAs). The project employs a mixed methods approach including: a scoping study synthesising disparate existing data; a survey across England with resettled Afghans, and participatory and mobile research exploring experiences of those most at risk. The Quantitative researcher will focus primarily on the survey, but will also be involved in wider aspects of the project.

This post is on a part-time basis (.80 FTE/ 29.20 hours per week) and initially funded until 28 February 2025.

Interviews for this post will be held on 4th March 2024.
