The role
UK Longitudinal Linkage Collaboration (UK LLC) is an organisation that provides a trusted research environment (TRE) to systematically link study participants’ data to administrative data. This is an ideal role for someone with an interest in supporting an interdisciplinary research community to complete their projects by managing, curating and understanding new and complex linked data and longitudinal data resources, and disseminating this through working groups and stakeholder liaison.
You will work with a suite of novel and exciting data and have data programming skills which we will support you to improve, and you will have the opportunity to develop specialist skills within our growing team. You will liaise with a wide range of external stakeholders in a fast-paced environment, whilst always working to the highest level of UK Information Governance Standards. There will also be opportunities to write publications, present at conferences, deliver workshops and other externally facing events as this role has a focus on stakeholder liaison.
This is a full-time role, and part-time won't be considered.
