IEA (International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement) is an international cooperative of national research institutions, government research agencies, scholars, and analysts working to evaluate, understand, and improve education worldwide. We are a nonprofit and independent organization. More than 60 countries are actively involved in the IEA network, and over 100 education systems participate in our studies.
Since 1958, IEA has measured students’ mastery of subjects such as mathematics, science, and reading; conducted assessments on civic and citizenship education; investigated students’ computer and information literacy; and researched early childhood and teacher education. We aim to help our members understand effective practices in education and develop evidence-based policies to improve education.
Our comparative studies of education systems across the world enable better understanding of the policies and practices that foster educational progress, and play a critical role in helping nations build their own knowledge and research capacity. Our other activities include working with partner organizations to implement a wide range of additional studies and providing training opportunities for researchers.
By linking research, policy, and practice to assess, and measure how well education systems are preparing children for the future, our association contributes to a more educated world.
IEA provides a variety of rewarding opportunities to those interested in working with our diverse, international teams. In addition to our vacancies in research-related and coordinating roles, we support professional development of researchers through our academic visitor program and IEA awards.
Our staff represents a diversity of cultural and educational backgrounds, reflecting the international outlook and inclusive ethos of the organization. We welcome speculative applications. Please feel free to send us an email with a cover letter and a copy of your CV to our HR teams in Amsterdam or Hamburg.
