Are you passionate about cutting-edge research at the intersection of metabolic health, fertility, and endocrinology? This fully funded PhD at Ulster University offers the chance to make a real impact in understanding the critical role of testosterone in metabolic and reproductive health.
?? Key Research Areas:
?? Explore how testosterone influences insulin-producing cells and appetite-regulating cells in the pancreas and gut.
?? Investigate the effects of diabetes and high-fat diets on male fertility, including sperm quality and testicular structure.
?? Uncover how testosterone fluctuations affect metabolism, hormone health, and overall male reproductive potential.
This groundbreaking research could pave the way for hormone-based treatments to enhance insulin sensitivity and combat type 2 diabetes in men with low testosterone levels.
?? Funding Details:
This project is funded by the Department for the Economy (DfE) and the Vice Chancellor's Research Scholarship (VCRS), providing:
? Full tuition coverage
? A maintenance allowance of £19,237 per annum (tbc) for three years
? Research Training Support Grant (RTSG) of £900 per annum
?? Eligibility Criteria:
?? A First or Upper Second Class Honours Degree in a relevant field (or equivalent qualifications).
?? A well-crafted personal statement and comprehensive research proposal.
?? Bonus points for a Master's degree, research experience, or publications.
?? Application Notes:
If applying for multiple PhD projects, your first submission will be considered your primary preference. Shortlisting and interviews will be based on this order.
?? Open to Applicants Worldwide:
This is your chance to join a dynamic research community and contribute to solving critical challenges in health and medicine.
