We seek an ambitious researcher with strong statistical and quantitative skills and experience in using large longitudinal datasets. This post is an opportunity to analyse a newly created de-identified database to provide an evidence base for policy on the health needs of mothers involved in the public law family courts. The project will provide evidence for national policy on responding to the health needs of mothers involved in family court proceedings. The study uses novel linkage between national hospital data and public family court proceedings from Cafcass. The project aims to investigate health before during and after court proceedings, time to next pregnancy and variation in health and risk factors across England.
Result from this work will be relevant to health, judicial and social care services. The project is also ideal for an early career researcher to develop a fellowship proposal building on novel data, which is accessible for the first time in England. This post is funded for 18 months in the first instance.

Proficiency in statistical software packages (e.g. STATA, R) for quantitative analysis of large longitudinal administrative data. Working knowledge of data linkage techniques and statistical methods.
