Overview
Applications are invited from candidates who are interested in applying to study for a PhD in the Institute of Health & Welfare Research at the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, Scotland, UK.

The PhD studentship is aligned with the strategic research themes of the institute; Cardiovascular & Metabolic Disease, Environmental & Occupational Health and Neurological & Mental Health.
(REF IHW7)
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a PhD studentship to contribute to a developing research programme dedicated to enhancing the provision of care for women who experience miscarriage. The successful candidate will undertake research to investigate the moderating effects of locus of control and social support on the psychological impact of early pregnancy loss (anxiety, depression and grief) as a means of enhancing mental well-being. An interest in health psychology and/or midwifery and the application of psychology and sociology to health and well-being is essential together with an enthusiasm for working in the clinical domain. Ideally, this project will suit applicants with a background in psychology, sociology, midwifery or related discipline. Some experience of quantitative and/or qualitative research is desirable but not essential. For further details of the project please contact Dr Katrina Forbes-McKay (k.e.forbes-mckay@rgu.ac.uk).
Eligible candidates
Candidates should be highly motivated with a strong commitment to academic research. A First Class, or a 2.1 Honours Degree (or equivalent) or a Masters Qualification in a relevant discipline is required. Relevant professional experience will also be considered.
