Within the project there is a Grade 8 post-doctoral researcher position for someone with strong quantitative skills, and an interest in food systems. It is a multidisciplinary team including environmental scientists, epidemiologists, health geographers, system modellers, statisticians, public health, and economics so it is a fantastic opportunity to be exposed to this way of working and engaging with local and regional policy makers. The post will be based within the newly-developed Centre for Economics of Obesity at University of Birmingham. It is fulltime until February 2026 and is available now. It is open to anyone with strong applied economics/quantitative skills.
