  Research Officer in Demography / Population Health


      *London School of Economics and Political Science* - Department of
      Social Policy

*Starting salary from £32,794 to £39,669 per annum inclusive*

*Start date: Summer/Fall 2014*

*Duration: Up to 4 years*





We invite applications to work on a project on the determinants and
consequences of fertility timing. This is part of the project “Costs and
Gains to Postponement: How Changes in the Age of Parenthood Influence
the Health and Well-being of Children, the Parents, and Populations”
(COSTPOST) which is funded by a European Research Council Starting Grant
to Mikko Myrskylä.



Working with Professor Myrskylä you will investigate the factors and
mechanisms that influence the timing of births, and the consequences of
early and late fertility on the health and well-being of both the
children and the parents. The specific research questions analysed in
this project are not tied to any geographical region, and both
contemporary and historical data sets will be used. You will also have
the opportunity to develop an independent research agenda.



You will have completed or nearly completed a PhD in population studies,
demography, or related social science discipline. Your past work will
include analysis of health or fertility behaviour, or both. Through your
research you will have demonstrated experience of advanced statistical
techniques and analysis of large data sets. You will have demonstrated
potential to publish, or have already published your work in leading
journals.



In addition to a competitive salary the benefits that come with this job
include a defined benefits pension scheme, generous annual leave and
excellent training and development opportunities.
