**Research Fellow in Understanding Changes in Intergenerational Co-residence and Household Formation Among Young Adults**

**ESRC Connecting Generations, University of Southampton** - Research Fellow

Social Statistics and Demography

Connecting Generations is a collaborative project between the long-established Centre for Population Change (University of Southampton, University of St Andrews, and University of Stirling), the University of Oxford Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science, and the Resolution Foundation. Connecting Generations aims to innovate in knowledge and understanding of intergenerational relations and population change. The Centre is led by Professor Jane Falkingham.

This project will examine trends in the timing of leaving the parental home and in the living arrangements of young adults, their explanations and policy implications. In particular, the postholder will consider the role of parental and other family resources in facilitating successful transitions in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, Brexit and continuing economic uncertainty. A variety of data sources including individual level data from the 2021 Census, Millennium Cohort Study, and UK Gender and Generations Survey will be used.

This research position will be based in the _Department of Social Statistics and Demography_, within the Faculty of Social Sciences. You will work under the day-to-day direction of _Professor Ann Berrington_. You will be part of a supportive group including the Centre Research Manager, and other researchers working on similar themes, both within Southampton and partner institutions.

To be successful in this role you will have, or will be close to completing, a PhD (or equivalent professional qualifications) with a strong statistical data analysis component. You should have proven experience of using large and complex datasets, ideally including the UK Birth Cohort Studies or UK Census Microdata. It is essential that the postholder already has a good knowledge of the sociological and demographic literature relating to the changing nature of transition to adulthood and household formation among young adults. Proficiency in the use of STATA; the ability to plan and organise work independently and as part of a team; and write research presentations and papers are also essential attributes.

The University of Southampton holds an Athena SWAN Silver Award demonstrating commitment to equal opportunities in the workplace.

The post is available from 1 September 2023 with the latest start date being 1 November 2023.**Further details**:
