About Us The National Institute of Teaching researches and delivers teacher development programmes. We were founded by four of England’s largest Multi Academy Trusts – The Harris Federation, Oasis Community Learning, Outwood Grange Academies Trust, and Star Academies. We were awarded £2.4m by the Nuffield Foundation to deliver a ground-breaking research programme – Teaching Improvement through Data and Evaluation (TIDE) in collaboration with UCL, Evidence Based Education, and Teacher Tapp. TIDE will develop a novel measure of teacher impact using data from our founding MATs; explore the statistical contributors to our measure; and then co-create and evaluate interventions that can increase teacher impact. We think this programme will revolutionise research on teacher development. About the Role We are recruiting a Senior Research Advisor to lead on intervention development and evaluation, and support on the rest of TIDE. You will work closely with word leading academics, NIoT’s Programmes Team, and cutting-edge AI consultants, to co-create a novel intervention based on insights from the rest of the TIDE programme. You will also lead the design and implementation of a Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) of this intervention. In addition to being a specialist in RCT design and delivery, you will be an innovative and practice-minded researcher who strives to bridge the nexus between research and practice in teacher education.
