Dear Jacqui

Would it be possible to forward details of the attached research officer post to members of the family studies group email list? I've also copied the details in below. I'm moving to the Centre for Criminology at the University of Oxford and will be starting a new ESRC-funded research project on adolescent-to-parent violence. We're advertising for a research officer to work with me on the project for 2.5 years.

Thanks for your help.

Best wishes,

Rachel
