4-year PhD Studentship: An assessment of basic epidemiology and healthcare utilisation for Raynaud’s phenomenon in the UK primary care setting
Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP) is the term used to describe cold sensitivity with digital colour changes in response to cold exposure and/or emotional stress. Read more
PhD Studentship in Lifecourse Epidemiology & Public Mental Health
Research Group:
Mental Health and Addiction
The Department of Health Sciences, University of York, and the Bradford Institute for Health Research invite applications for a fully-funded full-time PhD studentship to start in September 2022. The project is on childhood mental health and early life experience funded by the Yorkshire and Humber Applied Research Collaboration (YHARC). . Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Development of methods to triangulate multiple sources of evidence in epidemiology
Triangulation in epidemiology is the strategic use of multiple methods to answer a single question [1,2]. Lawlor, Tilling and Davey Smith explained how causal inferences can be strengthened by triangulating results from several approaches with different key sources of potential bias [1]. Read more
Nutritional determinants of skeletal development and bone loss: an investigation using a novel computer vision assessment of bone microarchitecture
Lead Institute / Faculty: MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Centre, Faculty of Medicine. . Main Supervisor: Professor Nicholas Harvey. Read more
Head and neck cancer epidemiology
The research would involve descriptive/analytical epidemiological analyses exploring aspects of the disease burden and trends or risk factors or care pathways/outcomes for head and neck cancer and its subsites. Read more
PhD Opportunity – Exploring the role of ancestry in Mendelian randomization studies and applying these findings to identify risk factors for gallbladder cancer
Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a very aggressive disease, mainly affecting women and older persons, resulting in more than 85,000 deaths every year. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Harnessing genetics of DNA methylation to understand molecular mechanisms underlying human traits and diseases.
GWAS studies have discovered many genetic associations for traits and diseases, but the functional consequences of these variants remain elusive. Read more
(NIHR) Epidemiology of coeliac disease and inflammatory bowel disease and economic burden of delayed diagnosis in primary care in England
Coeliac disease and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are among the most common chronic autoimmune conditions affecting the gastrointestinal system in the UK. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Linking multivariable Mendelian randomization with lifecourse epidemiology: developing the methodology and application to a contemporary exemplar
Mendelian randomization (MR) uses genetic variants as instrumental variables to estimate the causal effect of an exposure on an outcome, free from bias due to unobserved confounding. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Using genetics to understand confounding: Applying Mendelian randomization and other causal inference techniques to strengthen causal inference in epidemiology
Many apparently robust observational findings in medical research have been refuted by randomized controlled trials (RCTs), largely because common analysis methods are sensitive to unmeasured confounding. Read more
Linking biodiversity with human health to inform the One Health Approach: statistical modeling of comprehensive open-access environmental and health datasets on the globe scale
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on earth at all its levels, from genes to ecosystems, a key part of the nature system. Read more
Biomedical knowledge discovery and triangulation using natural language processing
We are offering an exciting data science project for potential PhD students interested in developing and applying artificial intelligence (AI) in the context of population health. Read more
