World-leading research and development at a globally-recognised Institute.

The Institute of Education (IOE), University of London, is a vibrant, world-leading centre for education and related areas of social science. With over 6,000 students and 800 staff, we are active in every continent and we attract more education research funding than any other UK university. In fact, we're consistently placed as one of the top three recipients of social science research funding in the UK.

Our location at the heart of the UK's capital city reflects our position at the centre of influencing policy and practice. For a Lectureship post you will be in your early to mid career with ambitious plans for your teaching and research and want to achieve academic prominence quickly. For a Senior Lectureship you will be an academic on a strong research trajectory with realistic ambitions towards professorial promotion within the next few years. Whatever your level of experience, you'll be ready to contribute to our work and ensure that we remain at the cutting edge of current thinking and research.

Become a Lecturer at one of the UK's premier research institutions.

We currently have up to 16 Senior Lectureships and Lectureships to help us shape thinking about social research in the twenty first century. We're particularly keen to receive applications from those in the following fields:

• Quantitative social research and quantitative methods
• Education leadership and system reform
• Schooling, school processes and school quality, including equity and inequity
• Learners and learner experiences, including individual learning needs

• Psychological dimensions of learning including neuroscience, epigenomics, and health
• Early learning and child development

To join us, you must have a doctorate - or equivalent experience - in a relevant field, along with proven experience of high quality research and publications including peer-reviewed journal articles. You'll have teaching experience, preferably at Masters and doctoral levels, and a good knowledge of a wide range of learning and teaching approaches, particularly for bilingual or international students and those from widening participation backgrounds. For appointment at Senior Lecturer level, experience in obtaining research grants, managing major research projects as a Principal Investigator, and doctoral supervision is essential.

In return, we'll provide a comprehensive programme of support and an attractive salary, relocation and bebefits package.

Our ambitions are wide-ranging: if you can help us to shape the future of the social sciences through exceptional research and the highest quality research-led teaching, we would like to hear from you.
