The University of Reading is offering a PhD studentship focused on the intersection of sensory science, nutrition, and health. The project, supervised by Professor Lisa Methven, will investigate the impact of GLP-1 agonists—appetite suppressors—on long-term sensory perception, food choice, nutrition, and overall health. This opportunity is ideal for students interested in understanding how appetite suppressors influence consumer behavior and physiological responses related to food and nutrition.

Applicants should have a strong background in sensory science, nutrition, biology, or a related field, and a keen interest in the relationship between sensory perception, appetite, and health. The position is based at the University of Reading, a leading institution in food and sensory science research. The application deadline is January 26, 2026.
