The Bridge Group is a non-profit consultancy that uses research to promote social equality. We do this by supporting organisations of all kinds with independent expertise, research and practical know-how to enable them to make a tangible impact on socio-economic diversity and social equality.
We are seeking to appoint a Researcher (Quantitative analysis) to contribute to the design and delivery of research, with a particular focus on preparing and analysing quantitative data. The Researcher will normally be involved with research projects focusing on higher education and/or employment in relation to people from lower socio-economic backgrounds: their access, experiences and progression.
The location is flexible: Bridge Group staff normally work remotely and are currently dispersed across the UK and beyond. We want our Team to be diverse, because having a range of perspectives and experience benefits our work, and we particularly encourage people who are diverse by socio-economic and/or ethnic background to apply.
This will be a part-time role, as outlined above, and will be one year fixed-term contract in the first instance (with possibility of extension).
All staff receive 28 days paid leave, plus UK bank holidays (leave allocated pro rata for part time appointments), plus a tax-free remote working allowance worth up to £26 per month.
To read the full job specification and apply, click "Apply via website" to be taken to the right page.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Contribute to the design and delivery of research
Data analysis will vary from routine coding and mapping to descriptive statistics and advanced approaches including correlation analysis, ANOVAs and regression analysis. In preparing data, the Researcher will identify the need for clarifications and additional information on the data, and will clearly communicate these queries. The Researcher will undertake this work in strict compliance with the Charity’s policies on data security and confidentiality.
2. Collaborate with colleagues
The Researcher will normally work alongside the Senior Researcher (Quantitative), who will typically lead on the quantitative aspect of research projects and will allocate responsibilities to the Researcher. The Researcher will be expected to undertake these with relatively little guidance and share their findings with the research team, working alongside colleagues to synthesise qualitative and quantitative findings and understand how findings from various strands of research address key research questions.
3. Communicate research findings
The Researcher will clearly present their specific outputs to the Senior Researcher and/or other colleagues through concise informal reports. They will contribute verbally to internal meetings of the research team. The Researcher may contribute to drafting external reports (or sections of reports), presenting findings in a style accessible to a range of audiences.
4. Operational contributions
There will also be other more operational tasks associated with the role, working in collaboration with colleagues in the Charity. These are likely to include administrative tasks for meetings and events; communications with stakeholders, including by phone and email; copywriting; and website contributions.
SKILLS, UNDERSTANDING AND EXPERIENCE
We seek candidates with the following attributes:
Quantitative research
- Have experience in advanced statistical approaches including, for example, ANOVA, and non-parametric approaches
- Understand how these are used to explore social equality issues and are aware of recent published work in this area
- Have substantial experience of identifying the most appropriate approach to explore specific research questions within the context of the data available and the organisation(s) involved
- Have experience of working with large datasets that were not generated for research purposes and require extensive mapping and manipulation
- Are happy to undertake routine tasks, such as checking and cleaning datasets; matching and coding of datasets; and general descriptive statistics
- Pay uncompromising attention to accuracy and detail; and are skilled in identifying data challenges and limitations early in the process wherever possible
- In addition, it would be an advantage to have experience of working with deprivation/disadvantage metrics used in research relating to education and employment (e.g. Index of Multiple Deprivation and HESA measures)
Interpreting and presenting findings
- Have excellent interpersonal and teamworking skills, allowing you to collaborate with colleagues on research tasks and a broad understanding of qualitative research approaches so you can work alongside qualitative researcher colleagues to synthesise quantitative and qualitative findings
Socio-economic equality and diversity
- Are committed to the Bridge Group's vision of a higher education system and labour market where outcomes are determined by competence and hard work, and not by socio-economic background and understand the key issues relating to social equality in the UK
General
- Have completed a postgraduate research degree (or have equivalent professional experience).
