Research Fellow – Rees Centre
3 weeks ago
Department of Education, 15 Norham Gardens, Oxford, OX2 6PY About the role The Department of Education at the University of Oxford wishes to appoint an experienced statistician as a Research Fellow to lead the data analytic elements of a new three year programme of research on stability for children in foster and kinship care.
As part of a strong and growing team of researchers in the Rees Centre, you will use your knowledge of research and associated administrative data-sets on children in care to lead the day-to-day analysis of national datasets, in particular, the SSDA903 statistics (children's social care) and the National Pupil Database (education) and work to improve understanding of trends in the current measures of stability.
You will ensure that the work is legal, ethical, and robust and that it delivers policy-relevant insights.
There is also an opportunity to influence the future development of children's social care data, how it is best analysed, interpreted and used to understand the stability of care, and its contribution to children's outcomes.
You will hold a relevant Ph.D/D.Phil with sufficient relevant post qualification experience to have built a strong publications record.
You will have a good understanding of the relevant large-scale datasets and have sufficient knowledge of policy and practice in children's social care to understand how they relate to the operational realities of social care services.
As a Research Fellow, you will be able to make research applications and lead funded research.
This requires the ability to independently design, plan and manage research and analysis projects, including analytical strategies, quality assurance and financial management.
Experience in making successful applications, managing a research budget and supervising staff, would therefore be advantageous.
This post is full time and offered on a fixed term for 3 years.
We welcome applications from care-experienced people.
