Are you interested in working for a world top 100 University?
We have an exciting opportunity in the Department of Psychology for a graduate researcher to join an exciting ongoing project at the interface between psychology, education and intervention. We have developed a preschool-based intervention geared to improving preschoolers’ executive and numeracy skills.
This position will involve joining an extended team connecting the University of Sheffield with the University of Oxford and our national / international collaborators, to deliver the intervention as part of a large scale randomised controlled trial in nurseries around the UK. This RCT will evaluate the effectiveness of the programme in improving young children’s mathematics outcomes, with a particular focus on economically disadvantaged children.
A keen interest in developmental psychology, early education and related data is essential. You will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability to manage your own research and administrative activities, as well as working as part of a team.
The post-holder will be involved in all aspects of the research project, with a strong focus on communicating with nurseries around the UK, intervention delivery in the nurseries that have signed up, presenting to teachers, qualitative / quantitative data collection and knowledge exchange activities.
As this post will involve travel to nurseries around the UK (including: North Yorkshire, Derbyshire, East Midlands, Lincolnshire) this would be facilitated by the person having access to their own reliable transport.
The post is funded by the Educational Endowment Foundation for 9 months full time from 1st September 2023.
We are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities which benefit the individual and University.
We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
To find out what makes the University of Sheffield a remarkable place to work, watch this short film: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LblLk18zmo, and follow @sheffielduni and @ShefUniJobs on Twitter for more information.
