Summary

In this role, the successful candidate will make a leading contribution to quantitative data management, analysis, visualisation and reporting as part of the UKRI-funded Gambling Harms Research UK Evidence Centre (‘the Centre’).

The postholder will support the Centre's evidence-generation activities through the analysis of existing and newly generated datasets, producing high-quality and responsive research outputs that address the Centre's priorities and evidence needs.
