About the Role
The Manchester Institute of Education (MIE) approach to research is distinctive through a focus on equity and practice, making a significant contribution to the University’s goal of social responsibility. Our aim is to ensure that research is at the cutting edge of theory and practice, and that it contributes to improvements in the overall quality of education for students, their families and communities in educational settings throughout the world. Productive partnerships with policymakers and practitioners have been developed in order to interplay ideas, evidence and strategy.
The post holder will work as part of the #BeeWell research team under the supervision of Professor Neil Humphrey. #BeeWell is a groundbreaking measurement and improvement programme for secondary schools in Greater Manchester and Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, and Southampton.
The aim of the research strand of the project is to improve our understanding of the development and drivers of wellbeing in adolescence. We are using an adapted version of a ‘population cohort study’ design in which we will collect quantitative data from tens of thousands of young people from schools across the city-region in three annual waves. Further information about #BeeWell can be found here.
The Data Manager will lead on data and survey management, analysis and aggregation of the #BeeWell dataset, development of survey feedback tools (e.g. data dashboards) and a variety of other duties.
