He has been on an 80% contract since August 2012. He was previously Lecturer in Economics at the University of St Andrews from September 1995 to February 2002. Prior to that, he fulfilled several roles at the University of Hull, lecturer 1994/95, tutor 1990-94, and research assistant 1989-90.

IZA Journal of European Labor Studies, 3(1), 24. https://doi.org/10.1186/2193-9012-3-24 Research interests My research interests are broadly categorised as labour economics and applied microeconometrics. Whilst most of my papers have involved the econometric analysis of empirical data, some have instead been theoretical or methodological. My published work has ranged over a number of topics, including absenteeism from the workplace, self-employment, the restriction of working time, the north-south divide within England, local economic performance league tables and the definition of local areas, happiness and life satisfaction, the role of relative income in determining the attractiveness of a universal basic income (compared to other welfare policies), and the role of employee participation in improving job quality and job satisfaction while reducing inequality. Postgraduate supervision Dr Nolan is willing to consider supervising research students in labour economics and applied microeconometrics, especially on topics in the fields of absenteeism from the workplace, duration modelling of labour market states, and the economics of earnings, employment and self-employment.
