Emily Grundy joined ISER as Professor of Population Science and Director in October 2017. Previous appointments have been at the London School of Economics (where she remains a part-time Research Professor), University of Cambridge, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and King’s College, London.

Her current research is supported by an ERC Advanced Grant on Family life courses, intergenerational exchanges and later life health https://famhealthproject.wordpress.com/.
Emily is also involved in collaborative projects on urban environments and mental health at older ages http://www.mindmap-cities.eu/ and on long-term care in Europe.
