Four-year Wellcome PhD studentships in Public Health Economics and Decision Science

We are now accepting applications for September 2024 admission

We seek to train the next generation of researchers in conducting high-quality analysis of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of complex multi-component public health interventions and policies to reduce non-communicable or chronic diseases. In 2019, we were awarded funding from Wellcome for five cohorts of seven top-calibre PhD students to work on some of the most pressing public health challenges. We are now accepting applications to join our final cohort of PhD students. Find out more about how to apply.

Chronic disease accounts for a large proportion of the burden of disease in high-income countries…

Much of this burden is due to powerful ‘upstream’ determinants…

Upstream determinants have a complex interaction with ‘downstream’ behavioural factors…

Together, upstream and downstream factors form a complex system of interdependent influences.
