I would like to draw your attention to the following two PhD opportunities at the Small Area Health Statistics Unit (SAHSU) at Imperial College London:
*The role of environmental factors in cystic fibrosis disease progression*
Apply here: www.findaphd.com/search/PhDDetails.aspx?CAID=3408&LID=3778
Application deadline: 23 April 2017
Supervisors: Anna Hansell (SAHSU), Frédéric Piel (SAHSU) and Rebecca Cosgriff (Cystic Fibrosis Trust)
The projects will focus on analyses of the CF Registry data in relation to environmental factors, including air pollution, to rigorously quantify possible causative interactions, with a particular focus on respiratory disease. As for many projects conducted within SAHSU, this will require the use of detailed geographical information to enable accurate exposure assignment for all individuals with CF in order to conduct detailed analyses and estimate each individual’s exposure to a range of environmental factors known or suspected to influence disease progression
Successful candidates will be expected to produce excellent academic research to be presented at national and international conferences, and published in peer-reviewed journals. They will actively engage with the community of scientists and clinicians involved but also, importantly, with the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and the community of patients and their relatives, including through active participation at the Annual Meeting of the CF Trust. Translating research results into useful advice for individuals with CF will be the ultimate outcome of these projects.
Best wishes,
Rebecca Cosgriff
