Exciting PhD opportunities are available in the research program of Professor Cindy-Lee Dennis at the University of Toronto, Canada. The focus of the research is on improving the health and well-being of mothers, fathers, and children through the development and evaluation of innovative, technology-enabled interventions. These interventions aim to enhance the accessibility and effectiveness of care across the preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum periods. Key research areas include preconception health and care models, perinatal mental health and digital interventions, paternal health and coparenting trajectories, and health behaviours and outcomes across the perinatal period. The program offers the chance to engage in quantitative research and to work within large, multidisciplinary teams as part of national and international collaborations, such as the Healthy Life Trajectories Initiative (HeLTI). Students will have the opportunity to make real-world impacts on family and population health, contributing to the advancement of science in family health. The University of Toronto provides a vibrant academic environment and access to extensive resources and collaborations in the field of medical and public health research. Prospective students who are passionate about these topics and interested in pursuing doctoral research are encouraged to reach out directly to Professor Cindy-Lee Dennis to discuss potential opportunities. No specific funding or deadline information is provided in the announcement.
