• How can we design for learner variability at scale to enable all children to reach their potential as learners and in life?

• How can we produce interventions that reduce growing inequalities in children’s learning and overcome disparities in the impacts of digital technologies?

• How can we address the role of data to help learners and teachers make informed decisions about their learning and teaching?

Applicants must have received their PhD within the past 10 years.
