An ESRC Research Centre

ICLS trains research students and postdoctoral fellows in the secondary analysis of longitudinal data. Prospective students wishing to study health and wellbeing over the lifecourse may apply for ESRC 'quota' awards or MRC awards. *Four ICLS/ESRC +3 studentships are on offer to start in September 2013.

ICLS research students are supervised by multi-disciplinary panels and offered taught courses in statistics, a weekly seminar programme and quarterly scientific workshops. There are opportunities to combine PhD research with long-term attachment to one of the scientific programme’s project teams in order to gain apprentice-style experience of working in a research team. Students will also learn about communicating their research findings to a variety of academic and non academic audiences.

Initially limited quantitative skills will not debar first class social scientists from eligibility for training with ICLS.
