PhD Studentship in Metabolic Adaptation to a Low-Carbohydrate Ketogenic Diet in Physically Active People with Type 1 Diabetes University of Exeter in United Kingdom

Fully funded PhD studentship on ketogenic diets, exercise, and Type 1 Diabetes within the GW4 BioMed3 MRC studentship scheme. The project asks an important applied question: what happens to fuel use and glucose control during exercise in physically active people with T1D on a ketogenic diet? The research sits at the intersection of exercise physiology , metabolism , diabetes research , nutrition , public health , and sport science . The post says the PhD will be supervised by Tim Podlogar , alon...

PhD studentship opportunity at the University of Exeter in collaboration with the University of Bath . The project is titled Understanding Muscle Metabolism Responses to Feeding in Adult Survivors of Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia . It focuses on whether adult survivors of childhood ALL experience anabolic resistance —a reduced skeletal muscle response to dietary protein—and whether inflammation contributes to this effect. The successful PhD student will work with adult survivors of chi...

PhD opportunity in women’s cardiovascular health, menopause, and exercise physiology at Liverpool John Moores University . The HEaR-ME project (Heart, Exercise and Reproductive Transition – Menopause & Exercise) has progressed to the next stage of the NIHR ARC North West Coast Doctoral Award . The project aims to develop more equitable, evidence-based cardiovascular prevention and exercise guidance for women through menopause and beyond. This doctoral opening is especially relevant for candidate...

PhD Studentship at the University of Bath in the Centre for Nutrition, Exercise and Metabolism (CNEM) , delivered as part of the GW4 BioMed MRC Doctoral Training Partnership and in collaboration with the University of Exeter . The project focuses on extreme muscle disuse and its effects on whole-body health , with particular attention to metabolic health and glycemic control . The research also explores potential strategies to help maintain health during periods of muscle disuse. This is a stron...

Funded PhD opportunity in Biomedical Sciences at Ulster University focused on nutrition, obesity management, and GLP-1 therapy. The project, titled Protein Shake Strategies to Support Weight Loss: Effects on Muscle and Nutritional Status During GLP 1 Therapy , investigates whether protein- and micronutrient-enriched shakes can help preserve muscle mass, improve nutritional status, and support wellbeing during rapid weight loss in people living with obesity. The work sits at the intersection of n...
