Jen Davies

Cardiff University Reader Jen Davies is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship beginning in September 2027. The project is broadly centred on sensorimotor function, frailty, ageing and allostatic load . The successful doctoral researcher will have scope to take ownership of the work and shape the project within these broad research areas. This offers an opportunity to develop an individually focused research direction while contributing to wider questions about physiological function, healthy ageing, frailty and the cumulative effects of stress on the body. The studentship is offered through the SWBio DTP Hub Doctoral Training Partnership , providing access to a structured doctoral training environment. Training and development opportunities include additional ring-fenced support and a three-month placement, alongside research and training costs. The opportunity is based at Cardiff University in the United Kingdom and is suitable for a prospective PhD researcher interested in ageing-related medical science, sensorimotor research, frailty and allostatic load.
