About the role

We wish to appoint a Research Associate who will be a member of CHILDs group at the School of Life Course and Population Sciences. The successful candidate will be the lead analyst for an ARC South London study on multi-morbidity in children.

We particularly need to improve care for children with disabilities, complex needs and who face a range of challenges in their lives.

This information will then be used to help inform targeting future prevention activities and any change to delivery of health services.

This role will involve developing and applying analysis plans using a variety of advanced methods with the support of project supervisors. The postholder will have completed a PhD in a relevant discipline and have expertise in quantitative research methods.  They will be someone who thrives in a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary environment, but is able to work independently, solve problems and deliver research to tight deadlines. The role will involve collaboration with experienced researchers across medical statistics, epidemiology, informatics, social science and integration into the broader CHILDs team.

This is an outstanding opportunity to develop a research career through high quality publications, contributing to research proposals and taking advantage of developmental opportunities within the department and KCL.
