Multimorbidity PhD for Health Professionals – Project Call Open

Multimorbidity PhD Programme open for applications.

Our Doctoral Training Programme in Multimorbidity for Health Professionals offers a unique collaborative training environment for students to carry out clinical research across the translational spectrum from examining aetiology and mechanisms, through data science and epidemiology, to applied clinical research. Our PhD Programme is funded via a Doctoral Training Programme Grant from the Wellcome Trust, and is run jointly by the Universities of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and St Andrews.

We are seeking interdisciplinary projects that address three research themes:

1) Prevention and Management of Multimorbidity

2) Physical and Mental Health Multimorbidity

3) Polypharmacy and Multimorbidity

Inequalities is a cross cutting theme and so projects that take account of inequalities will be viewed favourably.

The programme allows students to undertake a 3-year PhD as part of an employed research fellowship, and with research cost, training, and conference travel funding. 

More information for potential supervisors is available on the programme website: Supervisor Information
