The Open University is offering a fully funded PhD studentship in exercise science, physical activity, ageing and cognitive health . The project, “Optimising Exercise Prescriptions for Individuals with Mild Cognitive Decline,” will investigate how exercise can be optimally prescribed to support people experiencing mild cognitive decline. The research sits at the intersection of exercise prescription, health science, cognitive health and ageing, with potential relevance to the design of physical activity approaches for an important and growing health research area. The doctoral researcher will be based at The Open University in Milton Keynes, UK, and will undertake full-time study beginning in October 2027. Mark Antrobus, Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science, is identified as the contact for informal enquiries and further information. The opportunity is suited to applicants interested in exercise science, physical activity, ageing, mild cognitive decline and related health disciplines.
