01 — The role

Why this role exists at EduRankAI

EduRankAI is developing next-generation technologies in Artificial Intelligence, Education Technology, Research, Product Engineering, and Digital Innovation. Research analytics is the quantitative engine room of the research function — the sampling plans, weighting, significance testing and reproducible analysis scripts that decide whether a research claim can be trusted at all. You will mostly work on studies run by other people across the company: cleaning and weighting survey data, coding open-ended responses, checking whether a reported difference is real, and rebuilding an analysis from raw data when a published number is questioned. Every analysis is delivered as a script plus a data dictionary, so that it can be rerun months later and produce the same figure. Where a sample cannot support the claim being made of it, you say so before publication rather than after.

02 — The work

What you will own

  • 01 Design sampling plans and calculate the sample sizes a study would need to answer its stated question.
  • 02 Clean, weight, and document survey and study datasets before any analysis begins.
  • 03 Run significance and effect-size testing, and report confidence intervals rather than bare percentages.
  • 04 Code open-ended survey responses into analysable categories using a documented coding frame.
  • 05 Deliver every analysis as a reproducible script with a data dictionary, so results can be regenerated on demand.
  • 06 Rebuild disputed analyses from raw data to confirm or correct the published figure.
  • 07 Review draft research outputs and flag claims that the underlying sample cannot support.
  • 08 Maintain the shared analysis repository, its version history, and its documentation.
