Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
Applications are invited from graduates in public health or epidemiology or other relevant social science and health (First or Upper Second) to work with the NIHR Global Health Research Unit on developing nutrition policies, particularly salt reduction, at Barts and The London School of Medicine & Dentistry. The 3 year studentship will commence as soon as possible and be based at the Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine.
The NIHR Global Health Research Unit at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry aims at developing and implementing nutrition policies especially on salt reduction for low and middle income countries, particularly China and other Asia-Pacific Countries. The Unit (Director: Professor Graham MacGregor) is multi-disciplinary and will focus on evidence-based and resource-oriented approaches.
The PhD studentship will evaluate various dietary intervention approaches and model their potential impacts on health outcomes. The PhD studentship will also evaluate the process across different partnerships and focus on the adjustment of resource-oriented models for different contexts in low and middle income countries. A knowledge of Mandarin would be advantageous.
