Social
network researchers are welcome to apply – the Big Data Centre offers
many opportunities for large
scale social network analyses. The MRC/CSO Social and Public Health
Sciences Unit is developing its research programme in dynamic social
network analysis (SIENA, Agent Based models) and complex systems models
in public health.
Founded
in 1451, the University of Glasgow is the fourth oldest university in
the English speaking world. As a member of the prestigious Russell Group
of leading UK research universities,
we are a broad-based, research intensive institution with a global
reach. Home
to one of the UK's largest groups of social scientists, our College of
Social Sciences is seeking to appoint a research leader of international
standing to the new position of Professor
of Quantitative Social Sciences. Based in the School of Social and
Political Sciences, which has recently been awarded a Nuffield Q-Step
Centre and an ESRC Big Data Centre, the appointee will lead the
development of research and research-led education in the
application of quantitative methodologies to the analysis of social
phenomena. He or she will oversee major research funding bids, particularly in the areas of Quantitative Social Science and Big Data,
and will be at the centre of a highly active network of scholars.
The
appointee will come from a subject area represented at the School –
which includes Politics, International Relations, Sociology,
Criminology, Public Policy and Urban Studies- but
will have a broad academic perspective enabling them to contribute to
the development of the social sciences as a whole.
Outstanding
research and leadership credentials are the key requirements of the
role. In return, we offer you the opportunity to make Glasgow a byword
for international excellence in
quantitative social sciences research, taking full advantage of the
possibilities for collaboration across the College and the wider
University in areas such as health, computing, and engineering.
