A University of York academic has received a prestigious Philip Leverhulme Prize to continue his research into health inequalities.
Dr Tim Huijts, a Senior Lecturer in York’s Department of Sociology, will use the £100,000 to examine how people’s health is affected by job insecurity, housing and relationships.
The prizes are awarded by the Leverhulme Trust and recognise the achievement of outstanding researchers whose work attracts international recognition.
Prof Paul Johnson, head of Sociology, said: “This is a significant and prestigious award, and is given in recognition of Tim’s outstanding research.”
