Job description

The role holder will be responsible for running the quantitative part of this mixed-methods project, studying the mechanisms underlying the co-occurrence of eating disorder symptoms, self-harm, and suicide. Data analysed will be from pre-existing big data initiatives such as the eating disorders genetic initiative UK.

We particularly welcome applicants who are disabled, LGBTQ+ and/or from a minority ethnic background, as they are particularly under-represented at King’s. At King’s, we are deeply committed to embedding good equality and diversity practice into all our activities so that the university is an inclusive, welcoming and inspiring place to work and study.
