The Alan Turing Institute 

The Alan Turing Institute is seeking a Research Associate, Spatial Modelling within their AI for Science and Government Team.

This post has specific responsibility for the application of spatial analysis to produce better estimates of the spatial distribution of health outcomes and behaviours. The application of spatial modelling, in particular microsimulation models, to the challenge of health equity can help to better understand the complex relationships between health and social determinants, across space/place and time.

You will report to Professor Mark Birkin as Director of the Turing Urban Analytics programme and to Dr Alisha Davies, Health Theme lead for the AI Science and Government (ASG) programme. We expect the successful applicant to engage with stakeholders, either directly or through colleagues with responsibilities in this area, and to look for opportunities to focus on specific datasets and problems.

We envisage that the public health organisations across the UK, Local Government and the Office for National Statistics will be particularly important stakeholders. Working with partners to discover the novel added value of the application of these approaches to health to inform intervention or policy planning decisions.

This full-time post is offered on a fixed-term basis until 31 March 2023. The annual salary is £37,000 to £42,000 plus excellent benefits, including flexible working and family friendly policies, https://www.turing.ac.uk/work-turing/why-work-turing/employee-benefits.

Candidates who have not yet been officially awarded their PhD will be appointed as Research Assistant with a salary range of £34,510 per annum.
