It arises from the shared interests of two existing research programmes: a NIHR-funded project, Addressing the Polypharmacy Challenge in Older People with Multimorbidity (APOLLO-MM) and a Wellcome-funded project, Living with Feeling<https://projects.history.qmul.ac.uk/emotions/livingwithfeeling/> and the successful student will benefit from existing networks and events associated with these projects. The PhD will be jointly supervised by Dr Deborah Swinglehurst<http://www.blizard.qmul.ac.uk/staff/51-centre-for-primary-care-and-public-health/219-swinglehurst-deborah.html> and Professor Thomas Dixon<http://www.history.qmul.ac.uk/staff/profile/4525-dr-thomas-dixon>. We are looking for a highly motivated graduate with a background (including a relevant Master's degree) in a relevant social science or history. The project is interdisciplinary and an explicit aim of the project is the integration of knowledge gleaned from both social science and history disciplines. The studentship includes PhD fees, a stipend (RCUK recommended rate: £16,553 p/a for 2017/18) and a £5K per year budget for consumables/conferences/travel. Closing date: 31st August 2017.
