CEDAR Public Health Research PhD Studentships

Overview

The Centre for Diet and Activity Research (CEDAR): a UKCRC funded Centre of Excellence in Public Health Research

We invite applications for PhD studentships in public health research within the Centre for Diet and Activity Research (CEDAR), a UKCRC funded Centre of Excellence in Public Health Research. The Centre is a collaboration between Medical Research Council Units in Cambridge and the Universities of Cambridge and East Anglia and is hosted by the Institute of Public Health in Cambridge.

We particularly seek candidates interested in the social and environmental determinants of physical activity and dietary behaviour and in population-based, interdisciplinary intervention research in this field. Students will be registered at the University of Cambridge or the University of East Anglia depending on their interests. The studentships within this multidisciplinary collaboration provide diverse training opportunities for all aspects of research and encourage the development of transferable academic and generic skills.

A number of three-year ('+3') studentships are available to commence in October 2011. These are for students who already have a Masters degree in epidemiology, public health or another relevant health or social science. It is possible that four-year ('1+3') studentship(s) may also be available. If so, this would be for those without an appropriate Masters degree who will undertake the MPhil in Epidemiology or Public Health in Cambridge or the MRes in Environmental Social Science in Norwich during the first year of their studentship.


The minimum academic requirement for entry is a first or upper second class degree or equivalent. The studentships include college and university fees and a stipend. Full funding is available to UK nationals and UK residents. Partial funding is available to applicants from the European Economic Area (EEA).

For further information about the Centre, the research topics and the eligibility criteria please visit http://www.iph.cam.ac.uk/cedar/. To apply, please send a copy of your CV, a covering letter outlining the research topic(s) in which you are interested, and contact details of two referees to Dr Rebecca Stratford (rs635@medschl.cam.ac.uk), marking the subject line of your email "CEDAR Studentship". Applications missing any of the above components will not be considered.


* Limit of tenure: +3 studentships are available for a period of 3 years

Closing date: 30 January 2011. Planned Interview dates: Provisional interview dates: Friday 11th March and /or Tuesday 22nd March 2011.
