Sophie Smith

I have been at the University of Oxford since September 2023, working in the Department of Experimental Psychology. From September 2023 to July 2025, I was a Research Assistant on the ONE project and am currently the Recruitment Officer for MathMIND.

My responsibilities include:

• Recruiting participants for research studies

• Developing and delivering professional development sessions for practitioners

• Collecting, recording, organising, and analysing qualitative and quantitative data

• Producing research outputs

• Communicating with key stakeholders, research settings, and participants

I am based in the Life and Mind Building at the University of Oxford.

I am a qualified teacher with nine years of experience working with young people. I hold a PGCE from the University of Warwick and an MSc in Psychology. My primary research interests lie in child development and educational psychology, with a particular focus on self-regulation, attention, and executive function development in children.
