The researcher would be leading the analytical work, deploying a mix of data science and modelling tools, and working closely with the data science t eam of both partners as well as two specific food banks (there will be an opportunity to visit these food banks). This is a fixed term post available from and is funded for 4 months in the first instance. Must end by 31st December 2024 due to funding constraints.
