[MATHLINK] Two new job opportunities in Psychology and Education in the UK

[Libertus, Melissa]

Two Job Opportunities on “Orchestrating Numeracy and the Executive” - (The ONE) programme

We are seeking two graduate researchers or equivalent professionals to join an exciting ongoing project at the interface between psychology, education and intervention. We have developed a preschool-based intervention geared to improving preschoolers’ executive and numeracy skills: the “Orchestrating Numeracy and the Executive” (The ONE) programme. A particular objective of this intervention is to improve the foundations of early numeracy, by working in collaboration with early years education practitioners and by leveraging informal educational opportunities in the early environment. Importantly, we built on a partnership between cognitive scientists, educational experts and practitioners to maximise future applied potential.

The two appointees will be based respectively at the University of Sheffield (Research Assistant) and at the University of Oxford (Project Manager and Recruitment Officer). They will join an extended and fantastic team connecting the University of Oxford, the University of Sheffield and our national / international collaborators, to recruit a large number of preschool settings, manage and deliver The ONE in a large scale randomised controlled trial (RCT). This RCT will evaluate the effectiveness of the programme in improving young children’s mathematics outcomes, with a particular focus on economically disadvantaged children. Pending final confirmation of funding, both posts will be funded by the Education Endowment Foundation full time from 1st January 2023 until 30th June 2025.
