Faculty of the School of Public Policy will ensure the integration of the post-holder into that research community, in which they will be expected to play a full part.

Candidates should hold, or be demonstrably close to the completion of, a PhD in the field of data science related to public policy (such as empirical data science, empirical political science or economics). They will require excellent written and oral communication skills preferably with some relevant teaching experience. Candidates must also be able to demonstrate an ability to foster an engaging and supportive learning environment.
