About this position
Sheffield Hallam University is advertising a Transforming Lives PhD scholarship in perinatal mental health inequities, focused on co-designing tailored interventions to improve outcomes in underserved, high-risk communities.
The project sits in Health and Social Care and is especially relevant to public health, nursing, psychology, medical science, sociology, and maternity-related research. The advertised topic explores how social disadvantage, ethnic minority background, migration, poverty, disability, and social care experience contribute to unequal perinatal mental health outcomes. The successful candidate may use quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods approaches, work with healthcare data and community stakeholders, and collaborate with women with lived experience to identify unmet needs and barriers to support.
The aim is to co-design and evaluate a targeted intervention, which may include digital, community-based, physical activity, peer-support, or culturally adapted approaches. The scholarship is based at Sheffield Hallam University in Sheffield, United Kingdom.
Funding: three and a half years full-time; home PhD fees are covered and an annual stipend is provided at the Living Wage Foundation rate. International/EU applicants are welcome, but they must cover the fee gap between home and overseas fees themselves.
Eligibility: applicants should normally hold a BSc 2:1 (or equivalent) in Health and Social Care or a related area. A relevant Master's is desirable. International applicants must meet the English language requirement (IELTS 7 or equivalent, with 6.5 in each component, unless exempt or eligible for the stated UK Master's exemption).
Deadline: 16 November 2026 at 12 noon BST. Interviews are scheduled for the week commencing 07 December 2026.
How to apply: submit the Sheffield Hallam application form, add the project title in the Personal Statement, and upload the required proposal, references, degree certificate, passport copy, and language evidence if applicable.
