PhD Scholarship

Sheffield Hallam University is advertising a PhD scholarship focused on public health, physical activity, and a community intervention for postpartum women. The project is titled Embedding Physical Activity into Family Hubs: A Co‑Designed Community Intervention for Postpartum Women and aims to support women after childbirth by embedding movement into everyday systems and co-designing solutions with the communities they are intended to serve.

The post is shared by Dr Elysa Ioannou, a researcher and registered associate nutritionist at Sheffield Hallam University, who says she will be co-supervising the project. The announcement also references Dr Marlize De Vivo and Cath as part of the supervisory team or wider project context, alongside the Active Pregnancy Foundation. The research interests highlighted include public health, evaluation, tackling inequalities, systems thinking, and health promotion.

This opportunity is especially relevant for applicants interested in maternal health, postpartum wellbeing, physical activity interventions, co-design, community-based research, and family support systems. The project appears to have practical impact potential in Sheffield and beyond.

The post does not list detailed eligibility criteria, funding amount, or deadline in the text provided. Interested applicants are directed to the FindAPhD listing to learn more and apply.
