Charlotte Mills

A fully funded BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) PhD position is available at the University of Reading, focusing on novel interactions of dietary bioactives in human nutrition. The project is supervised by Associate Professor Charlotte Mills, with co-supervisors Gunter Kuhnle, Jeremy Spencer (both University of Reading), and Christian Heiss (University of Surrey). Research will explore the impact of dietary bioactives—compounds found in foods such as nuts, coffee, leafy greens, and chocolate—on human health and nutrition. The University of Reading is renowned for its research in nutrition and food science, providing an excellent environment for doctoral studies in biosciences. The position is fully funded, covering tuition and stipend, through the BBSRC DTP scheme. Applicants should have a strong academic background in nutrition, biology, or a related field, and an interest in dietary bioactives. For more information, candidates are encouraged to contact the supervisors or visit the University of Reading and BBSRC DTP websites. This opportunity is ideal for students passionate about nutrition, food science, and the biological effects of dietary compounds.
