UK: PhD Studentships at Department of Social Medicine, University of Bristol

Investigation of the role of bone size relative to body size in the pathogenesis of fractures in childhood, Department of Social Medicine.
Excellent postgraduate research degree (PhD) opportunity in a leading (RAE 6*) department.

Applications are invited from graduates with good honours or Masters degrees in relevant disciplines for a prestigious PhD studentship tenable from October 2007.

Project
This prestigious ARC studentship represents an excellent opportunity for research training in epidemiology and biomedical statistics. The studentship is based on recent research findings where we examined the relationship between DXA (bone density) measurements at age 9 and
fracture risk over the following two years, in the ALSPAC population-based child cohort. The studentship will extend these studies in ALSPAC, by examining whether fracture incidence during puberty, which rises to levels seen in the elderly, reflects transient decreases in bone size relative to body size.

Training
As well as training opportunities offered by the project itself, the Department of Social Medicine has a well-established postgraduate programme that provides regular appraisal, guidance and mentoring for research students. The short course programme offers training in the disciplines of epidemiology, health services research, medical statistics, health economics, qualitative research methods, questionnaire design, meta-analysis and study design. The department also runs weekly lecture and seminar programs, covering software manipulation, time management,
presentation skills, research ethics, research exploitation and intellectual property rights, methodology, and writing up a PhD.

Funding
This three year PhD studentship, which is tenable from 1st October 2007, is supported by the Arthritis Rheumatism Council, who will pay a generous tax-free stipend starting at £16,182 per year, with annual increases thereafter. This award will also cover UK tuition fees.

Application
For further information, please contact Dr Jon Tobias (Reader in Rheumatology), to whom applications in the form of a CV should be directed, at the following e-mail address: Jon.Tobias@bristol.ac.uk.
