Job Description:

Full-time: 35 hours per week

Fixed-term to 31 March 2026

We are looking for exceptional candidates (two vacancies) to develop and refine high-quality research projects that deliver research for the wider public good, likely providing evidence to inform decision-making.

The Opportunity:

The post-holders will work as part of the ESRC-funded Scottish Centre for Administrative Data Research (SCADR) within a multidisciplinary team of social scientists, public health practitioners, and government departments. These positions will focus on research into how health and wellbeing are produced over a person's life course and through interactions with specific places and environments, aligned with Scottish Government National Outcomes.

This is a full-time (35 hours per week) position, but we are open to considering part-time or flexible working arrangements. We also consider hybrid working (remote and on-campus) on a non-contractual basis. Please note this is a fixed-term contract until 31 March 2026, with a likelihood of extension.

Your skills and attributes for success:

• A PhD in a social science or health discipline with substantial statistical and data analytical components.
• Proven competence in advanced quantitative methods, including statistical modelling and longitudinal analysis, with experience in relevant software.
• Ability to interpret, explain, and communicate quantitative analysis results to diverse audiences, including stakeholders and during training sessions.
• A record of high-quality scientific publications.
