We are seeking a Research Associate to work within the newly established Centre for Vocational Education Research (CVER), funded by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. The Centre brings together four partners, all with significant and acknowledged expertise in vocational education: the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics, the University of Shfield, the Institute for Employment Studies, and London Economics. The Centre aims to become a world-class research hub with the potential to generate a step-change in our understanding of the nature, significance and potential contribution of vocational education to individuals and the wider economy.

You will join the CVER research team at the University of Shfield, led by Dr Steve McIntosh and Professor Andy Dickerson. The research will combine education economics and applied econometrics to make use of large scale administrative data from learners, education and training providers, and businesses. You will generate research outputs of practical relevance to policy makers and stakeholders in the vocational education sector, as well as for academic publication, and help to disseminate the findings.

You should have a PhD in economics, statistics or a closely related discipline or alternatively you should be able to demonstrate experience of carrying out high quality academic research in your current employment. You must have extensive experience of data analysis, specifically microeconometric methods, prerably using STATA. While some familiarity of the academic literature and policy in the area of UK vocational education is strongly desirable, this is not essential for the post.

This is a 3-year fixed-term position.
