Job Details

The Centre for Population Change at the University of Southampton is looking to recruit a talented researcher with an interest in migrants' health and wellbeing. The project will use quantitative and qualitative methods in order to map transnational healthcare attitudes and practices in the current Brexit transitional period, and to assess how EU migrants' - as well as UK citizens' - access to transnational healthcare is likely to change in the future.

You will carry out primary qualitative data collection from five locations across the UK, analysing the data alongside secondary data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS) and an online survey which has been completed by the CPC.

The successful applicant will work under the direction of Professor Athina Vlachantoni, Professor Derek McGhee and Dr Chris Moreh. This is a full time fixed term post for 24 months.

You will have a PhD* or equivalent professional qualifications and experience in a social science discipline. You will also need to speak English and Polish fluently. Experience carrying out in-depth interviews alongside practical experience in the use of quantitative data analysis is essential alongside proven excellence in written and oral communication skills. Prior experience with analysing the UKHLS is desirable.

A current valid diving licence is also required, as the successful candidate will be required to travel to some remote locations which are not accessible by public transport.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an interview in Southampton on 17/05/19. The position is tenable from 01/06/19.

Informal inquiries may be made via email to Professor. Athina Vlachantoni; a.vlachantoni@southampton.ac.uk
