The University of Toronto is offering exciting PhD opportunities in the field of perinatal and family health under the supervision of Professor Cindy-Lee Dennis. The research program focuses on developing and evaluating innovative, technology-enabled interventions to improve the accessibility and effectiveness of care during 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. Students will have the chance to participate in national and international collaborations, such as the Healthy Life Trajectories Initiative (HeLTI), and work within large, multidisciplinary teams dedicated to making real-world impacts on family and population health.

The program seeks one or two exceptional doctoral students who are passionate about advancing the science of family health and are interested in quantitative research approaches. Applicants are encouraged to reach out directly to Professor Cindy-Lee Dennis to discuss their interest and fit for the program. This is an excellent opportunity for those looking to contribute to impactful research in maternal, paternal, and child health at a leading Canadian institution.
