The position is funded through two grants from the Research Council of Norway for the projects “Pathways into Marginalization. A 28-Year Longitudinal Study from Adolescence to Middle Adulthood” and “The Social Gradient in Mental Health. A Long-Term Longitudinal Study Integrating Survey Data, Register Data, and Molecular Genetic Data”. The projects utilize data from a large scale, longitudinal study spanning from adolescence over three decades and which combines survey, register, and molecular genetic data. Moreover, two other large-scale representative samples of Norwegian adolescents will be used.
The PhD fellow will use large-scale survey data and register data to examine underlying causes for social inequality in mental health and to uncover how complex marginalization processes in domains such as education/work, social relationships, and mental health unfold from adolescence into midlife. The PhD fellow will be working together with an interdisciplinary team in the Psychosocial Determinants research group in PROMENTA. PI for the projects is Professor Tilmann von Soest.
