Description

Expressions of interest are sought to understand more fully the population of EU staff working in publicly funded higher education (HE) providers in the UK, as well as provider resilience and workforce planning. This will involve primary research through a survey of HE providers and the academic and non-academic staff they employ, as well as secondary analysis of data from the HESA staff record.

The aims of the project are to build a profile of the population of EU domiciled staff working in HE providers, and to understand provider workforce plans, and the contingencies or risk management processes they have in place. Please note that the research design may need to flexibly respond to new developments.

Analysis of secondary data This part of the research will analyse HESA staff data to explore research questions and to design the sample specification and weights for the survey.

Survey of HE providers This part of the research will then survey senior figures working in HR, recruitment or a related area at a sample of the 167 publicly funded UK HE providers.

Survey of EU staff This part of the research will comprise an online survey of staff working in UK HE providers using telephone interviews to follow up on any persistent non-response and to ensure that the minimum sample sizes are achieved. We envisage that EU staff will be sampled through co-operation with providers.

Report write-up All analysis and discussion should be written up into the format of a DfE Research Report.

Please note that at this stage, bidders are only required to submit an Expression of Interest rather than a full bid. Please see the relevant document for more information.

Additional information: The deadline for EOIs is 6pm Tuesday 6th March 2018

Expressions of interests submitted must be no more than 1,000 words excluding references - anything longer will be disregarded.
