About this position
GW4 BioMed3 MRC DLP PhD project at the University of Bath in the Department of Psychology: Understanding and improving the provision of clinical services for youth with disruptive behaviour disorders.
This PhD sits within the NIHR Mental Health Research Group and links with researchers at Bath, Exeter and Bristol. The project focuses on child psychology, clinical psychology, developmental psychology, public health, epidemiology, medical statistics, data science, and related quantitative/qualitative methods. It will map mental health service provision for children and young people with disruptive behaviour disorders such as conduct disorder, identify barriers to access, training needs, and care pathways, and use longitudinal cohort data to study outcomes for those who do and do not access support.
The main study includes a nationally representative survey of NHS clinicians, commissioners, and parents/caregivers, with possible additional vignette and cohort analyses. The project aims to generate a national map of care in England and inform commissioning and mental health policy.
Funding: 4-year studentship covering tuition fees, a stipend of £21,805 per year for 2026/27, and up to £5,000 per year for research training and support. Home and international students may apply, but international awards are limited and do not cover visa or healthcare surcharge costs.
Eligibility: Applicants should have, or be about to obtain, a first or upper second-class degree in psychology, neuroscience, medicine, or data science/statistics. A lower second-class degree may be considered with a Merit or above at master's level. Master’s students in a relevant discipline are also welcome. Non-UK applicants must meet Bath’s English language requirements.
Deadline: 21 October 2026 at 17:00 GMT. Applications may close early if demand is high.
How to apply: Apply directly to the GW4 BioMed3 DLP online application form. You can apply for up to two projects with one application. Informal enquiries go to Professor Graeme Fairchild at [email protected].
