The Education Policy Institute (EPI) is a leading public policy research institute. Since 2016 we’ve produced high quality, authoritative research that has proven both timely and influential to policy-makers, practitioners and the public.
We’re looking to recruit a new Researcher, in our Vulnerable Learners and Post-16 team.
As a Researcher at EPI, you’ll contribute to meaningful, evidence-based work that addresses some of the biggest challenges in education. In this role, you will:
- Conduct impactful research on schools and colleges in England, with a focus on students who face greater barriers in education such as those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, or those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
- Develop your skills in quantitative and statistical analysis using large education datasets.
- Contribute to high-profile reports that are read by senior decision-makers across government, media, and the education profession.
- Support the communication of our findings through blogs, events, roundtables, and conferences.
- Progress towards leading research projects as part of your development.
- Play an active role in shaping and supporting a growing organisation.
