We are looking for a Research Fellow with experience of quantitative modelling of social phenomena across the lifecourse to join the NIHR-funded project “Interdisciplinary approaches to understanding inequalities in ageing-in-place for people with multiple long-term conditions”.

The Opportunity:

You will conduct quantitative modelling of social phenomena across the lifecourse exploring inequalities in ageing-in-place for people with multiple long-term conditions to examine how social categories are constructed and lead to social inequalities that are culturally specific and vary across time and space.

You will also co-ordinate the activities of the Edinburgh-based collaborators to build an interdisciplinary team participating in a programme of training and in ‘data sprints’ to explore the implications of ageing-in-place and its intersections with health inequalities.

The salary for this post is £40,497 to £48,148 per annum pro rata.

Your skills and attributes for success:

• A PhD (completed or close to completion) in Social Statistics. Or equivalent experience of leading quantitative Social Science research.  
• Experience of quantitative modelling of social phenomena across the lifecourse.
• Excellent statistical knowledge (including the use of statistical packages such as Stata and/or R) and demonstrable competency in the analysis of complex social survey data which includes stratification and clustering in its sample design.
• Experience of Generalised Linear Models, Multi-level modelling and Longitudinal data analysis models.
• Experience of research project co-ordination, across disciplinary boundaries and institutions.
