CLOSER GCRF Senior Research Associate Post

英国在收集、管理、存储和分析复杂的社交数据方面处于世界领先地位，伦敦大学学院是少数几个在这一领域拥有广泛能力的英国研究机构之一。这一职位旨在通过与其他研究委员会、国内组织(例如研究组织、英国国际发展部、政策执行者、社区和慈善机构)、国际组织(例如经济合作与发展组织、联合国、世界银行、美国国家老龄研究所)和现有投资(例如MRC的现有单位、惠康信托基金和NIA在发展中国家的现有队列研究)合作，利用和扩大英国的专业知识，以建设收集数据的能力。在国家和区域内部和区域之间进行研究和分析，以便能够更有针对性地开展发展倡议。这一职位有三个关键要素：1.对这项研究提供的问题和机会有一个战略性的了解，并帮助规划和执行适当的后续活动，以加强这一领域的能力。2.在Closer的英国活动中发挥积极作用，例如，通过研究活动、交流和影响或在培训和能力建设方面提供援助。在发展背景下根据纵向研究的量化分析开展高质量的研究。任职人员及其GCRF工作将由一个由高级学者组成的小指导小组指导并向其报告。他们将是伦敦大学学院教育学院CLOSER团队的成员，并将由CLOSER主任艾莉森·帕克教授管理。预计一些海外旅行将是这一角色的一部分。

The UK is world leading in the collection, curation, storage and analysis of complex social data, and UCL is one of a small number of UK Research Organisations with broad ranging capability in this area. This post seeks to harness and expand UK expertise through working in partnership with other Research Councils, in-country organisations (e.g. research organisations, UK Department for International Development, policy actors, communities and charities), international organisations (e.g. Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the United Nations, World Bank, US National Institute of Aging) and existing investments (e.g. MRC's existing units, the Wellcome Trust and NIA's existing cohort studies in developing countries) to build capacity for data collection, research and analysis within and between countries and regions to enable better targeted development initiatives.There are three key elements to this post: 1. To develop a strategic understanding of the issues and opportunities offered by this research, and help plan and execute appropriate subsequent activities to strengthen capacity in this area. 2. To play an active role in CLOSER's UK activities through, for example, research activity, communication and impact or assistance with training and capacity building.3. To carry out high-quality research based on quantitative analysis of longitudinal studies in a development context.The post holder and their GCRF work will be guided by, and report to, a small steering group of senior academics. They will be a member of the CLOSER team based at UCL's Institute of Education and will managed by CLOSER's Director, Professor Alison Park. Some overseas travel will be expected as part of the role.
