Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
We have an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated individual to contribute to improving equine welfare through further investigation of modifiable risk factors for equine laminitis. This project, funded by World Horse Welfare, will be run collaboratively between the Animal Health Trust near Newmarket, where the student will be based, and the Royal Veterinary College, London, where the student will be registered for a higher degree.
Through the conduct of a large prospective cohort study, we aim to further improve our understanding of equine laminitis and potential strategies for prevention. The project will use web-based data collection methods and social media, in conjunction with modern epidemiological approaches, to identify modifiable risk factors for this debilitating condition.

Applicants should have a veterinary or relevant biological sciences degree; previous experience of, or training in, epidemiological and/or clinical research will be beneficial.
