Opportunity description

UNESCO is inviting academic researchers and research-oriented policy makers from all nationalities to participate in the GEM Report Fellowship programme that aims to strengthen the evidence base on education, particularly in emerging economies, build research capacity in education, and reinforce the links between research, policy, and practice in education. As such, the fellowships will be open to exceptional individuals who have quantitative research skills, demonstrate a potential for transformational impact in their domain, and share a commitment to provide more people with better educational opportunities.

The fellowship focuses on:

[1] Utilizing the GEM Report’s data resources, notably those household and school surveys linked to the World Inequality in Education database, to strengthen analyses of global, regional and national education trends on issues of access, equity, inclusion and quality.

[2] Strengthening the content of the GEM Report with respect to its coverage of important issues at the regional and national level, through evidence-based analyses of educational policy and practice.

[3] Helping advance the SDG 4 monitoring agenda, especially on issues related to the global and thematic indicator framework that have been highlighted in previous reports.

[4] Supporting the themes of forthcoming GEM reports, i.e. inclusive education in 2020 (including a special focus on disability and Latin America) and the role of non-state actors in education in 2021.

Eligibility criteria:

[1] An advanced university degree in education, sociology, economics, political science, psychology, demography, statistics, psychometrics or other related fields.

[2] Proven experience in policy analysis in an academic/research or a national/international agency setting.

[3] Proven experience in organising projects in research and/or policy contexts.

[4] Experience with education systems in low, middle or high income countries.

[5] Fluency in one of the two UNESCO official languages (English and French) and the capacity to draft to a high standard in English.
