Research and Data Analyst (Fixed Term)

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 12 months in the first instance.

We are seeking a talented Research & Data Analyst to join the recently formed Education Services Data, Research and Evaluation Team. This is an exciting opportunity to turn complex educational and student-related data into clear insights that shape strategy, policy and service delivery across the collegiate University.

In this project-based role, you will:

• Focus on analysing, improving and automating data pipelines
• Consolidating and rationalising existing data processes, and reducing manual tasks
• Produce accurate, timely data reports and dashboards for a range of stakeholders
• Analyse large, complex datasets and national data sources (e.g., UCAS, HESA) to support planning and benchmarking
• Conduct robust qualitative and quantitative research to inform decision-making and evaluate interventions
• Present findings clearly to non-specialist audiences, including committees and working groups
• Support data literacy by delivering training and guidance to colleagues

About you:

You'll bring strong analytical skills, excellent communication, and the ability to work independently while building effective relationships across teams. You will have experience of handling complex datasets (including developing automations), conducting research, and producing high-quality written analysis, ideally within the UK Higher Education sector. Knowledge of GDPR and FOI in an education setting would be advantageous.

This is a great opportunity to contribute to evidence-based improvements in student experience and education at one of the world's leading universities.
