King’s College London (informally King’s or KCL) is a public research university located in London, England. King’s was established by royal charter in 1829 under the patronage of King George IV and the Duke of Wellington. In 1836, King’s became one of the two founding colleges of the University of London. It is one of the oldest university-level institutions in England. In the late 20th century, King’s grew through a series of mergers, including with Queen Elizabeth College and Chelsea College of Science and Technology (in 1985), the Institute of Psychiatry (in 1997), the United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals and the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery (in 1998).

The Research Fellow would be expected to work effectively on mixed methods studies and to be able to work independently with comparative and longitudinal survey data to produce the following types of outputs:
- descriptive analyses using time series data, combining several modes;
- regression and other multivariate techniques;
- synthetic cohort analysis and APC modelling;
- segmentations using latent class analysis;
- dimension reduction and scaling methods;
- random effects models (eg multi-level modelling);
- structural equation modelling.
A high level of theoretical and applied understanding of statistical techniques is essential for this role, as the fellow will be running analyses independently and advising a quantitative Research Assistant. The successful candidate will also be expected to show a commitment to continued professional development, in learning new skills and methodologies.
In addition to working on their existing projects, the fellow will also have time to develop his/her own research in his/her area of expertise – though ideally related to their research theme Trust, Facts, Democracy. The post holder is expected to develop their own strands of externally funded work, supported by the Policy Institute and wider College, and to build their external profile by publishing and attending conferences.
