University Researcher Heta Moustgaard leaves HSSH to join the research arm of the Social Insurance Institution of Finland (Kela). Her work as a senior researcher begins February 1.
“It has been inspiring and educational to work in such a multidisciplinary environment and to see the methodological diversity and development at the City Centre Campus,” Heta says.
“At Kela, I will work on questions related to social inequalities in health and well-being, using their exceptional register data.”
“Heta has been a brilliant co-worker and a driving force in the building of the HSSH method support. We are sad to miss her, but will be happy to see her thrive in her new position. For demographer, sociologist and a public health scientist whose research focuses on social inequalities in health and wellbeing, Kela offers a special context”, HSSH director Risto Kunelius says.
The Methodological Unit of HSSH offers support in questions related to data management, methodology and infrastructure. HSSH will open the vacant position later this spring.
