It will identify barriers to service access, healthcare professionals
PhD Studentship: Transdiagnostic Mental Health Interventions for Adversity Affected Youth
- Bath, United Kingdom
- Psychology
Young people exposed to adversity are at risk of a range of mental health problems including anxiety, depression and conduct-related problems, making adversity a ‘transdiagnostic’ risk factor for mental disorder. Given this, transdiagnostic interventions that target shared underlying processes (e.g., dysregulated emotions, negative self-beliefs) could be appropriate but remain underexplored. Many adversity-affected youth are supported by third-sector organisations (e.g., charities), where mental health provision varies widely and focused intervention elements could be especially beneficial. Th
PhD Studentship: Stress Reactivity and Mental Health in Young People: How do we Measure it, and can we fix it when it goes wrong?
- Bath, United Kingdom
- Psychology
How a person reacts to stressful things in everyday life is known as ‘stress reactivity’. This includes how a person reacts in their body, and also in their thoughts and feelings. Young people who have experienced difficult life events often have problems with how they react to everyday stress events as they grow up, which makes them more vulnerable to developing mental health difficulties in adolescence and early adulthood. This project will focus on ways to help young people with their stress reactivity as a preventative strategy to protect against the future development of mental health dif

PhD Studentship: Microlocal analysis and its applications in quantum resonances, partial differential equations with analytic or Gevrey regularity, and several complex variables
- Birmingham, United Kingdom
- School of Mathematics
- Dr Haoren Xiong
Microlocal analysis explores the classical/quantum correspondence in partial differential equations (PDEs). For example, the concept of symbol quantisation in the theory of pseudodifferential operators links classical observables (functions on phase space) with quantum operators. Microlocal analysis also provides essential tools to rigorously define, compute, and analyse resonances, which describe the oscillation and decay of waves in systems where energy can escape to infinity, replacing eigenvalues and eigenfunction expansions in non-compact domains. The consideration of analytic or Gevrey r
PhD Studentship: Mitochondrial DNA repair
- Birmingham, United Kingdom
- School of Biosciences
Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship in Professor Hansong Ma's laboratory within the School of Biosciences, University of Birmingham. The successful candidate will investigate the mechanisms governing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) transmission and maintenance. The project will combine genetic, cell biological, and molecular approaches using both Drosophila and human cell models to uncover the fundamental principles that regulate mtDNA inheritance and stability. Further information about the research programme can be found on the Ma Lab website: themalab.co.uk. The studentshi
