UK: PhD Studentship at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London

Overview

Applications are invited for a three year PhD studentship to work with The King’s Centre for Mental Health Research (KCMHR) based at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London. KCMHR undertakes research investigating military life using quantitative and qualitative methods. Its flagship study is an ongoing epidemiological multiphase investigation of the health of 20,000 UK Armed Forces personnel. The primary aim of the study is to investigate the post deployment health of those who have deployed on Op TELIC (Iraq) and Op HERRICK (Afghanistan). However, the study is also investigating a range of issues which are relevant to the Armed Forces in general, as well as finding out more about how people do once they leave Service. Further details about KCMHR can be found at www.kcl.ac.uk /kcmhr.

Objective of this research

The objective of this research studentship, funded by the Royal British Legion, is to examine the health, welfare and social issues arising from operational deployment. The proposed project is based on data already collected by KCMHR as part of the large study described above, and will investigate the following areas: the impact of deployment on marital stability and family circumstances; mental heath, long term ill-health and disability; resettlement; and debt. The successful student will be supervised by Prof Simon Wessely and Dr Nicola Fear.
