David McCollum

After graduating with a First Class BSc (Hons) in Geography from the University of Dundee in 2004, I worked as a researcher on an ESRC/Scottish Executive project on Demographic Trends in Scotland.

Following this I undertook an MSc in Applied Population Geography at the University of Dundee, graduating with Distinction in 2006. After this I undertook an ESRC funded PhD entitled: Revolving doors, (un)sustainable employment and multiple work-welfare transitions, graduating in 2010 as well as an ESRC funded Internship with the Office of the Chief Researchers in the Scottish Government.

I then worked on research projects for the ESRC Centre for Population Change (labour market aspects of East-Central European migration to the UK), the UK Government Office for Science (environmental mobility) and the Centre for Housing Research at the University of St Andrews (intergenerational justice and family welfare). I have been lecturing in Geography at the University of St Andrews since September 2012.
