Professor Emma Frew has recently been awarded a UKRI BBSRC consortium grant (£6M) with Cambridge leading and in collaboration with Warwick, Exeter, LSHTM, UCL and King’s College. The project is focused on how to transform the UK food system for healthy people and a healthy environment and the City of Birmingham is the setting for the research.
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.
Closing date for applications: 15th September
Please contact Professor Frew for further information on this post.
