From June 2019 Patrick will take on a new role as Professor of Quantitative Social Science in the Department of Methodology at LSE when NCRM leadership responsibilities will be taken up by Gabriele Durrant who has been the deputy director of the centre since 2015.

NCRM would like to thank Patrick for his work and wish him all the best for his future projects and ambitions. In the same time, we would like to welcome Gabriele and we look forward to working with her.
