Molly Grant is a Scientist with A*STAR IHDP's Human Development domain. She was previously a Research Fellow for the Roy McKenzie Centre for the Study of Families and Children at the Victoria University of Wellington.
Her research interests lie in child and adolescent development, family life, social and economic factors, and longitudinal research. Her doctoral research used a life course framework to examine social and economic circumstances across childhood and children’s health and development. The use of longitudinal analytic techniques in this research meant the duration and timing of childhood experiences could be considered together, giving direction for policy interventions and family support strategies.
Molly obtained both her Master and PhD in Education from the University of Auckland.
