Cambridge ESRC DTP Linked Administrative Data Studentship 2023: Structure and Mechanisms of Drug Markets
The project will involve analyzing administrative records from the Criminal Justice System Linked Datasets (part of the UK ADR Data First Project) to explore the structure of drug trafficking in England and Wales as well as the mechanisms underpinning drug markets and the behaviour of their participants.
This is a quantitative project with a strong social network analysis component. The successful applicant will have a strong quantitative background and familiarity with at least one statistical package. Knowledge of social network analysis is highly desirable.

Cambridge ESRC DTP Linked Administrative Data Studentship 2023: A-Level Subject Choices and Higher Education Access
The project will make specific use of a newly available linked administrative data resource, GRADE. Linking together data from the National Pupil Database, the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual), and the University and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), the GRADE dataset allows for the exploration of a series of research questions relevant to educational policy.
The principal aim of this studentship is to explore higher education applications made, and offers received, by individual applicants and how these relate to subject choice at A-level and the teacher-predicted and actual educational attainment of applicants. Within that, the studentship will also explore the influence of richly-defined socio-economic background on subject choice, predicted and actual grades, and higher education applications.
