Professor Li-Chun Zhang is Professor of Social Statistics within Social Sciences: Social Statistics & Demography at the University of Southampton.

I joined Statistics Norway as a Researcher in 1997 after I obtained my Dr. Scient. in Statistics. I became a Senior Researcher (professor equivalent) in 2006. I came to University of Southampton in 2012, but I still maintain a part-time position at Statistics Norway.
