“RESEARCH POSTS IN TOBACCO CONTROL
The Universities of Bath and Edinburgh are seeking to appoint a total of four* Research Officers / Research Fellows in Tobacco Control*, with equivalent posts based at each institution, to contribute to two major international research projects. All posts will involve analysis of previously secret internal tobacco industry documents. These were released as a result of litigation and have so far provided unique insights into the conduct of the tobacco industry in a wide range of countries. This knowledge has, in turn, contributed to advancing tobacco control policies and holding the tobacco industry to account. It is anticipated that both projects will have an important influence on international tobacco control policy making.
/Tobacco control, public policy and global health.
/*2 x 36 months fixed-term posts; Salary: £27,466 - £38,019
You will contribute to an exciting research project funded by the US National Institutes of Health and being conducted across three centres - the University of Bath, the University of Edinburgh and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. This project aims to examine industry strategies to influence international organisations, analyse the significance of trade liberalisation to tobacco corporations, understand corporate restructuring within the context of global expansion, and analyse corporate strategies to inhibit the global spread of effective tobacco control policies.
