Project Description
The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) is an independent charity dedicated to breaking the link between family income and education achievement. They do this by supporting schools, nurseries and colleges to improve teaching and learning for 2- to 19-year-olds through better use of evidence.
The Evidence Synthesis team’s responsibilities within the EEF include producing research and advice on education topics, building and maintaining high quality evidence infrastructure across the organisation, and quality assuring EEF publications.
Interns will work with existing Research Managers to conduct systematic reviews and internal research projects on relevant education topics. Depending on the projects, the researcher may gain experience with developing search strategies, writing protocols, full text and abstract screening, data extraction, developing taxonomies, narrative synthesis, meta-analysis and using R.
Work might include searching, screening and extracting data from published education studies, supporting internal research projects to produce outputs of high quality, using rigorous methods (e.g. REA on remote education), and working across other EEF teams to ensure outputs are accurate, accessible and engaging.
