A 3-year PhD Studentship funded by the UCL IMPACT scholar programme and
jointly funded by UCL and the Department of Health funded Policy
Research Unit for Children, Young People and Families, is available
within the MRC Centre of Epidemiology for Child Health / Centre of
Paediatric Epidemiology and Biostatistics, UCL Institute of Child Health
(http://www.ucl.ac.uk/ich/research-ich/mrc-cech) commencing during 2012
under the supervision of Dr Leah Li and Prof Ruth Gilbert.
**
*The purpose of the proposed investigation*
The purpose of the study is to develop risk prediction models to
determine whether children injured through maltreatment, assault, or
self-harm are at increased risk during adolescence and early adulthood
of subsequent adverse health outcomes compared with children injured by
accident or children in the general population. Such prognostic
information is required to determine whether these children represent
high risk groups who might benefit from targeted interventions in the
community to prevent further harm
The project would be suitable for a student with an MSc in biostatistics
or for a student with a background in epidemiology or public health with
strong statistical analytic skills. Applicants should have, or expect to
receive a first class honours or an upper second class degree.
The student will receive a starting stipend of £15,740 per annum as well
as the cost of tuition fees for UK/EU students (applicants from non-EU
countries can apply but will have to personally fund the difference
between the home/EU rate and the overseas rate). A £3,560 pa supplement
is available for students with a relevant Masters degree.
