The London International Development Centre has been awarded a £3.5m grant by the Leverhulme Trust to develop an innovative programme to link agriculture and health research for international development in the new Leverhulme Centre for Integrative Research on Agriculture and Health. This brings together research groups from six University of London Colleges, comprising economists, sociologists, anthropologists, nutritionists and epidemiologists to develop a programme of inter-sectoral and inter-disciplinary research, supported by new appointments, studentships and courses.
The new Centre will appoint two Professors, to provide vision and leadership, (one based within the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and the other within the School of Oriental and African Studies). Candidates will have an outstanding international reputation in the study of agricultural or health systems, a record of successful research linking the two, and a commitment to inter-sectoral and inter-disciplinary approaches. This post, based within the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), will specifically focus on agricultural links into health.
