PhD Research Studentship
General Practice And Primary Care Research Unit (GPPCRU)
Department of Public Health and Primary Care
Funds from The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) School for Primary Care Research at the University of Cambridge are enabling us to offer a PhD studentship in the Department of Public Health for three years full-time, to include a stipend, associated support costs and all relevant University and College fees.
The student will be part of a growing number of PhD students who contribute to the intellectual community of the Unit and Department as a whole. They will draw on the larger on-going research projects in the Unit, and will be expected to embed their own research within existing initiatives. The student will be supervised by at least one member of the Unit.
Owing to the growing interdisciplinary nature of the research conducted at the GPPCRU, we are seeking the best overall candidate for one of three proposed projects relating to our core research strengths:
Behavioural Science (Psychology):
Developing and evaluating measures of implicit attitudes to taking medication
Quantitative Methodologies (Medical Statistics):
Understanding how complex interventions do or do not work
Social Science:
The Experience of Co-morbidity: a qualitative study
Applicants will be expected to elect which one of the three areas of research they wish to be considered for.
Stipend: £12,940 pa with discretionary increase based on age and experience
Period: Three years, full-time. This is likely to begin from October 1 2008, although in exceptional circumstances the successful candidate will be able to register at another other time in the 2008/9 academic year.
Closing date: Wednesday 23rd July
For further details including outlines of the three proposed topics and how to apply for the studentship, contact Helen Ludford, hml34@medschl.cam.ac.uk or Stephanie Vo, sv299@medschl.cam.ac.uk
