Funded PhD project at the University of Bristol, School of Psychology and Neuroscience, within the GW4 BioMed3 MRC Doctoral Landscape Programme. The project focuses on digital health interventions , behaviour change , personalisation , health inequalities , and under-served groups , using the Drink Less app as a case study for reducing alcohol consumption among increasing and higher-risk drinkers. Research themes include understanding why some users do not download digital interventions, improvi...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences on preventing multiple sclerosis using AI , machine learning , causal inference , and target-trial emulation . The project, supervised/led by Dr Will Brown and connected with the Cambridge Clinical MS Research Group , the Cambridge Centre for AI in Medicine , and The University of Bristol (Jonathan Sterne), will use OpenSAFELY longitudinal primary care data from around 58 million people in England to ident...

PhD opportunity at Cardiff University in the Cardiff School of Medicine on shared genetic architecture of neuropsychiatric disorders and novel brain biomarkers . The project sits in the area of imaging genetics and aims to improve the biological specificity of brain phenotypes by implementing novel methods for diffusion weighted imaging in a very large cohort, including UK Biobank data, using the unique Connectome scanner at CUBRIC . The research will generate novel MRI metrics closer to brain b...

Funded PhD project at the University of Bristol (School of Psychology and Neuroscience) on the relationship between sleep and Alzheimer’s disease, combining human genomics, AI/bioinformatics, and Drosophila disease modelling. The project asks how clock and sleep genes affect ageing and Alzheimer’s disease. You will analyse circadian and sleep measures from large cohorts, use whole-genome sequencing and multi-omic datasets, apply AI and machine learning to predict variant effects, and test candid...
