About the applicant The applicant should have a degree (BSc or MSc) in nutrition in nutrition, dietetics, public health, epidemiology, or a related discipline. The applicant should have experience in handling, managing and processing research data, and with statistical analysis using statistical software (e.g. SPSS). They should have experience and knowledge of dietary assessment (including food frequency questionnaires). Good communication skills and scientific writing skills are also important. The post holder will need to be able to work within a team, as well as independently and they should be highly motivated. About the research group and the University The successful applicant will be part of the Iodine Research Group, led by Dr Sarah Bath. Our group examines the effects of iodine deficiency during pregnancy and the dietary sources of iodine. We are currently exploring the effect of plant-based diets on iodine status, and the variability in the iodine concentration of milk and dairy products. The successful applicant will participate in our regular research meetings. Hybrid/Guildford based - working arrangements can be discussed at interview. How to apply To apply please upload a CV and a supporting statement outlining your suitability for the post. For informal enquires about the post, please email Dr Sarah Bath (s.bath@surrey.ac.uk).
