About this position

University of Southampton is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship in Digital Biomarkers for Mobility Decline and Falls in Dementia.

This project sits at the intersection of Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Neuroscience, Statistics, and Medical Science. The research will explore whether wearable sensor technology can detect early mobility decline before it becomes visible in routine clinical assessment. By analysing real-world movement data, the project aims to identify subtle changes in gait, balance, activity, and everyday mobility, and to use machine learning and time-series analytics to predict future decline and fall risk in people living with dementia.

The studentship offers training in wearable sensor technologies, digital health, signal processing, machine learning, predictive modelling, digital biomarker development, clinical and cognitive assessment, and translational healthcare innovation. It is designed for students who want to work with high-resolution movement datasets and clinical cohorts to develop tools that may improve early detection, monitoring, and prevention of mobility problems associated with dementia.

The project is suitable for candidates with a background in Engineering, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Mathematics, Neuroscience, Biomedical Science, Physics, or related disciplines. Applicants should have a strong quantitative and analytical profile and an interest in interdisciplinary, technology-driven healthcare research.

Funding: Fully funded, UK only.

Degree level: Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).

Entry requirement: 2:1 honours degree.

Deadline: 4 December 2026.

Funding details

Fully funded PhD studentship for UK students only.

What's required

Applicants should hold or expect a 2:1 honours degree. The project seeks highly motivated candidates from Engineering, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Mathematics, Neuroscience, Biomedical Science, Physics, or related disciplines. Strong quantitative and analytical skills, an interest in interdisciplinary research, and enthusiasm for applying technology to major healthcare challenges are preferred.

How to apply
