Senior Research Associate, Cambridge Positive Peace Education (CPPE) Hub, University of Cambridge, UK. Deadline: 1 June 2025.
The University of Cambridge Faculty of Education is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior Research Associate (SRA) to lead key aspects of the new Cambridge Positive Peace Education (CPPE) Hub. At a time of rising global conflict, the CPPE Hub aims to make a significant contribution to knowledge and practice in the field of peace education. It will do so by building upon Professor Hilary Cremin’s Positive Peace Education Learning Objectives and two recent positive peace education projects in Kazakhstan and the UK. The CPPE Hub will enhance and scale-up this work by conducting a global peace education needs assessment, implementing case studies in two countries, and developing peace educator and education leader networks.
The findings from this research will be used to create a Positive Peace Education Framework and Curriculum, including a suite of resources to support peace education integration into classrooms, school districts, and national curricula. The collective work of the project will be shared on an interactive digital platform, the CPPE Digital Hub, that will serve as a lasting legacy of the project and help maximise its global reach.
In alignment with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and UNESCO’s recent call to prioritise peace in education, this project will conduct needed research, bring key global peace education actors into dialogue and collaboration with one another, and make impactful peace education resources more accessible ¿ leading to an array of positive impacts for learners, their communities, countries, and the planet.
