Be part of the world-renowned WorldPop Group at the University of Southampton, a global top 100 university (QS World Rankings 2021). WorldPop is an award winning, multi-sectoral team of researchers, technicians and project specialists working on producing data on population distributions and characteristics at high spatial resolution.
We require an enthusiastic, self-motivated, and committed data analyst and statistical modeller with a strong spatial statistics background and GIS skills to principally work on (i) screening data sources and methods for modelling demographic and health indicators using a variety of spatially referenced data sources, (ii) identifying biases, gaps and challenges, as well as ways to overcome them, (iii) selecting the 'best' data (including any spatial covariates) and methods for comparisons of demographic and health metrics over time, (iv) developing/advancing and implementing suitable spatial modelling approaches, and (v) validating the modelling results, as well as assessing and quantifying their uncertainty.
As well as joining the vibrant and well-connected WorldPop team based at the School of Geography and Environmental Science, you will have opportunities to lead high-impact publications, deliver workshops aimed at training project stakeholders and present at national and international conferences.
Strong experience with spatiotemporal statistical analysis, geographic data, and programming are important. You will have a PhD* or equivalent professional qualifications in a computational/statistical/quantitative discipline, ideally with a focus on the quantitative social sciences, such as public health, environment, epidemiology, demography, economics, data science, or a related discipline.
The University of Southampton offers excellent benefits including flexible/part-time working, including a generous holiday allowance of 30 days, 6 additional university closure days plus public holidays. We will support your long-term future too, with access to a generous pension scheme with the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS), subsidised health and fitness facilities and a range of employee discounts.
