The University of Liverpool Management School is seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. The post holder will undertake quantitative analysis as part of a research programme which examines gambling behaviour and ways to address gambling harm. Two types of data will be employed. The first is publicly available data from national surveys and from the Gambling Commission, such as the Health Survey for England, and the forthcoming Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey. The second will be detailed individual level transactional data from online gambling operators. The transactional datasets contain information on hundreds of thousands of customers, executing sometimes tens of thousands of gambles per year. Quantitative modelling is needed to examine patterns of behaviour, causal relationships, and trajectories of gambling engagement. You will be working alongside economists and statisticians who have a successful track record of research and impact in this field.
You will hold a doctoral degree (or be close to completion) in, for example, econometrics, statistics, or computer science, with experience of analysing large datasets. The post offers the opportunity to contribute to a research field that is growing both nationally and internationally in response to the need for evidence based public policy. It also offers the opportunity to contribute to writing papers intended for publication in peer-reviewed academic journals.
The position is available from April 2024 with some flexibility according to the successful candidate’s commitments.
The position if for a 12-month fixed term.
Informal enquiries to Prof Ian McHale, email: [email protected] .
