The School of Education, College of Social Sciences, is a large and dynamic unit that brings together researchers with expertise across all sectors of education: formal and non-formal, pre-school through to higher, adult, and community education. The School is currently ranked 1st in the UK for Education in the Complete University Guide (2019 and 2020). It offers undergraduate, postgraduate and CPD courses and hosts the Robert Owen Centre for Educational Change (ROC); the Centre for Research and Development in Adult and Lifelong Learning (CR&DALL) and the St. Andrew’s Foundation for Catholic Teacher Education.

The School prides itself on the effective integration of teaching, research, theory, policy, and practice. The key feature of its research is its commitment to placing educational research as part of an interdisciplinary agenda to support the development of more equitable societies in the spirit of social justice. The School aims to contribute to producing better places locally, nationally, and globally, providing a major source of research-informed evidence that contributes to positive economic and societal impact. The School is situated within the College of Social Sciences (CoSS) and we welcome applications from candidates keen to contribute to interdisciplinary research, scholarship and knowledge exchange, working collaboratively in taking forward the CoSS interdisciplinary research themes which are: Addressing Inequalities; Challenges in Changing Cities; Digital Society and Economy; Justice, Insecurity and Fair Decision Making; and Sustainable Development.
