Research Associate

2 weeks ago

Glasgow, United Kingdom University of Strathclyde Full time

**Salary Range**: £36,024 - £46,263

**FTE**:1.0 (35 hours/week)

**Term**: Fixed Term (18 months)

**Closing Date**:Sunday, 27 August 2023

This post is an exciting opportunity to work with leading academics at the Universities of Strathclyde and Warwick on projects funded through the Economic Statistics Centre of Excellence (ESCoE). ESCoE is funded by the Office for National Statistics and exists to deliver a research-led approach to addressing challenges and opportunities in measuring the economy. The post holder will become a Research Associate of ESCoE.

The post holder will be working on two separate projects using time series econometric methods.

The first, involving researchers at the University of Strathclyde, including Professors Gary Koop and Stuart McIntyre as well as Dr James Mitchell from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland will be developing methods for the analysis of regional incomes, and in particular, using some of the latest developments in _functional_ vector autoregression methods. The aim is to produce both more timely estimates of the income distribution, but also to undertake structural analysis to examine the resilience of different parts of the UK to economic shocks. This builds on the work that these researchers have been doing in regional nowcasting over the past 5 years which has produced both research publications in internationally excellent journals and research impact through the adoption of these methods by the ONS.

The second project will involve working with Professors Ana Galvao and Ivan Petrella at the University of Warwick on the development of methods required to analyse and summarize real-time, high-frequency measures of economic activity. This research project also aims to build a weekly index of the UK economic activity using a set of the new ONS real-time economic indicators and some other high and low-frequency measures of economic activity. The methodology will incorporate solutions to accommodate issues such as the presence of outliers and time-varying uncertainty, the short historical length of some time series, and seasonality in the data. This builds on the work that these researchers have been doing in state space models and nowcasting over recent years.

As a Research Associate, under the general guidance of the above research leaders, you will develop research objectives and proposals, play a lead role in relation to a specific project/s or part of a broader project, conduct individual and/or collaborative research, contribute to the development of new research methods, identify sources of funding, and contribute to the securing of funds for research, including drafting grant proposals and planning for future proposals. You will write up research work for publication, individually or in collaboration with colleagues, and disseminate the results via peer-reviewed journal publications and presentations at conferences. You will join external networks to share information and ideas, inform the development of research objectives and to identify potential sources of funding.

To be considered for the role, you will be educated to a minimum of PhD level in an appropriate discipline, i.e. Economics, Statistics, Data Science, etc., or have significant relevant experience in addition to a relevant degree. You will have sufficient breadth or depth of knowledge in time series econometrics, ideally in Bayesian time series econometric methods, programming experience (preferably in Matlab), and a developing ability to conduct individual research work, to disseminate results and to prepare research proposals.

You will have an ability to plan and organise your own workload effectively and an ability to work within a team environment. You will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to listen, engage and persuade, and to present complex information in an accessible way to a range of audiences.
