About this position
PhD opportunity at the University of Greenwich Business School on Beyond Treatment: A Bio-Social Approach to Labour Market Participation among NEET Youth with Mental Health Conditions.
The project examines how health inequalities, social determinants, and structural barriers shape the experiences of young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEET), with a particular focus on mental health conditions, disability studies, community psychology, social geography, occupational health, public policy, and management. It asks whether better integration between health services, Jobcentre provision, and community-based interventions can improve labour market participation as a recovery outcome.
Research themes include the role of social prescribing, the limits of a medicalised approach to mental health, and how employment support and health services can work together to reduce youth economic inactivity. The project is especially relevant to students interested in mental health, labour market exclusion, social policy, and community-based interventions.
Funding: Competition funded PhD project. Bursary available subject to satisfactory performance: £23,805 in Year 1 (UKRI 2026-27 standard rate including London Weighting), with Years 2 and 3 paid at the relevant UKRI rate. The scholarship includes a contribution to tuition fees at the university's Home rate; international students must pay the remaining tuition difference.
Eligibility: Students worldwide may apply. The post does not list specific academic prerequisites, but applicants should be prepared to work on mental health, NEET youth, and labour market participation.
Application: Register your interest via the FindAPhD project page. The university will contact applicants directly after enquiry submission.
